Psychotria urbaniana
small white flowers, light purple bracts
variety of forest habits but mostly wetter forest
This flower can be fairly common in some forests. It's one of the only plants I saw blooming in the forest. I have the exact species somewhere in my photos or notes, just have to find it.

The common name of some Pyschotria is wax flower. I've used that here now until I find the right species and common name. I've added a photo of the striking blue fruit.
This brings back memories - I used to call it "wax flower" as I didn't know the proper name
