| I agree there are some similarities but I don't see the fleshy, pointed calyx lobes which are characteristic of Sonneratiaceae. Incidentally, that family is now treated as two separate subfamilies of the Lythraceae, Sonneratioideae and Duabangoideae.
I'm not sure what family this mystery plant belongs to. The flowers keep pulling me back to Lecythidaceae, but as yet I haven't been able to find a match so maybe I'm on the wrong track... |

| I would also look closely at the family Capparaceae. The flower structure is very similar. |

| Hola Ana
Yo no conozco ese árbol y no he tenido tiempo de buscar...
Seems to be difficult the identity of that tree, even for Darwiniensis who is an expert on tropical plants... but sooner or later someone will give the name.
The family Capparaceae, suggested by Darwiniensis, is another good candidate
but you say as is the disposition of the leaves ... I can not see ... it is alternate leaves?

| Reminds me of manzana rosa, Syzygium jambos, but that's obviously not it. |

| The flowers do resemble a Capparis but I do not see any with the same leaf design. Ana, the angle I shot from makes in unclear if the leaves are alternate, but they do look so. |

| Could it be a type of coffee tree?
