Pink flower in a pot ID'd by John J as Clerodendrum bungei

We saw this in a pot at a taverna.
From one of my books  it looks like an Eupatorium
However, there appear to be any amount of them and they also seem to be in the name changing game.
any ideas?

Hilary, try Clerodendrum bungei.
Cyprus Branch Head. Gardens in a field 40 m above sea level with reasonably fertile clay soil.

Thanks.
I see it is mentioned in  four of the MGS Journals.
Something to read this afternoon
