According to “the mubrick cottage”, This plant is native to some tropical regions of Australia and South East Asia, spreading to East India, Indo China and Indonesia. It is cultivated for Java Tea on the islands of Sumatra and Java. It grows naturally in forest edges, but is commonly seen along roadsides and wastelands.
No worries. I found them in Cooktown Botanic Gardens, as part of the colelction of plants that were collected by Banks and Cook. So if you are heading north…

Beautifully captured. Where did that flower originate? I haven’t seen that before too.
