Looks like Medinilla cummingii. It’s not that common in cultivation. Medinilla magnifica is the most widely grown of the Medinilla species because not only does it have bright pink flowers, it also has large and showy pink bracts. You can see images of it at http://www.botanicalstockphotos.com/photos-medinilla-843.htm.
