requesting identification of this ornamental at a housing society garden at Pune.

very deep green leaves and pink flowers

My guess would be Episcea cupreata, but could well be wrong..

Thank you for the Id. I too was thinking about Episcia cupreata but the color of the flowers was not matching. ref http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Flame%20Violet.html

I agree with the Id suggested by … at Indian Flora as Episcia pinkiscia. a hybrid ref http://www.botany.com/episcia.html
