Thanks for the replies, no definitely not Rhodochiton (atrosanguineus, at least, but I don't know if there are other, different species?)
The flowers are upright-facing and the leaf is large, oval , glossy-ish and mid-green. From the small sample, it seemed a strong climber, perhaps one could liken it to Solandra maxima in habit (smaller and slightly lighter-coloured leaves than the Solandra, though). Or Lonicera hildebrandiana...
The flowers are really exactly like *this photo* (though not so similar to the Pavonia once it (the Pavonia) is fully open), only with that different colouring.
It is driving me a little bit mad!
