I find it interesting too – I need to check whether I missed this plant though we were together during this trip.

Yes it is Pavetta siphonantha Dalzell Syn: Pavetta hispidula var. siphonantha (Dalzell) Hook.f. It sometimes grows as a straggler with a very weak stem, but very attracting flowers with longer style (key flower character).

Mostly growing in the understories of evergreen forests at mid elevations.
