Pseudomussaenda flava
Saw this beautiful plant at the resort house the family rented for an outing. The yellow flowers are always accompanied by a single white petal. Viewed from a distance, they look like white butterflies resting beside the yellow flowers.

Common Names: Dwarf Yellow Mussaenda, Dwarf Mussaenda, White Wing.
Garden of a hot spring resort house.
