Pentas lanceolata, commonly known as Egyptian starcluster or star flower.

The color of the flowers range from red, pink, lilac and white. It is one of the best butterfly-attracting flowers. It is widely used as a garden plant, but photographed here in the wild. (on the comoros islands).

The Comoros islands have their own subspecies, Pentas lanceolata subsp. cymosa , but I am not sure about this one.
