- this is Gustavia augusta L. Dissert. Pl. Surinam 17, 1775 at Amoen. Acad. 8: 266. t.5, 1785; Almeida, Fl. Mah. 2: 259, 1998. LECYTHIDACEAE A. Rich.
(Gustaviaceae Burnett, Outl. Bot.: 717, 1092, 1135. Feb 1835, is included in the list of validly published families (Reveal, L. J., 2007 in Indices Nominum Supragenericorum Plantarum Vascularium www.plantsystematics.org.))
- Luckily. I got the opportunity to click its beautiful flower which is somewhat similar to Magnolia on gross observation last month.

Gustavia angustifolia of Lecythidaceae family
Yes, I agree with ..., and very good photos too
I think does not matches with specimen & images of Gustavia angustifolia Benth. at https://www.gbif.org/species/5383774
It appears more close to images at Gustavia augusta L.
