Brownea sp.
This flower was in bloom all over the Tiputini Biodiversity station in early March when we first arrived. By the time we left in mid-April, the flowers were mostly wilted. It grew out of the side of the tree, about a meter or 2 off the ground. According to our guides, the tree (Rosa de la Selva, or jungle rose) has medicinal properties. Identification help at the species level would be great!
