Sorry Giby. I really appreciate all your help and do not wish to appear ungrateful.
However, Lasianthus parvifolius is not at all like it. My mystery shrub has 5 petals not 4. I found this pic showing the leaves. http://www.biotik.org/india/species/l/lasiparv/lasiparv_05_en.html It just doesn't come close to my amateur eye. It was a very large shrub. My pic does not show the bulk of the shrub, just a few bottom branches. See my 3rd pic for the base of the mother plant. I thought at the time it might be a shrubby honeysuckle. But the stigma is not right. Of all the unidentified plants from this trip this is THE one I would really love to id. I thought my close up pics showing the detail pretty well would make it so easy! Not so! Any further thoughts anyone?
