Is this Adelocaryum malabaricum?

This is a very rain-drenched Common Hill Borage [Adelocaryum coelestinum].

As per FoI, Adelocaryum coelestinum has white flowers with a blue centre, therefore differs from these pics…

… strongly believe this to be the Malabar hill borage, Adelocaryum malabaricum (Boraginaceae).
