Great plant! It's related to the genus: Randia.
This plant look very similar to Randia macrantha.

Yes, Randia macrantha (or Euclinia longiflora) is absolutely beautiful! It doesn't grow very well here...it's too tropical.

It would be b#ggered here then!

Yes, it's super tender to even cool conditions. It's a cool weather wimp, like me. lol! :>)

That's a shame - I rather fancied this plant.

Randia macrantha (or Euclinia longiflora) would most likely only do well in a heated greenhouse where you live...most likely even here or maybe an unheated greenhouse may do here (possibly).

I'll do a search with the alternative name...........

I've been familiar with the shrub for at least 20 years. The name has officially changed to Euclinia longiflora.
This shrub grow very well in Hawai'i.
