copper leaf, sunset bells

Chrysothemis pulchella

Description:

This is the first time I remember seeing this in flower or otherwise at this location. It is growing untended and I have no idea how it got there. It is native to South America and/or the Caribbean.

Habitat:

Found growing in an untended flowerbed amongst other plants, in a large semi-urban yard and garden in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
