    This might be a long shot (or not, as there are so many African plants that get sold in the west as houseplants).

    This was taken in Arusha , Tanzania.

    Anyone have an idea of what it is?

    The full shot can be seen here:

    Obviously a Clerodendrum, and I think chimera is close at least. But it's likely that C. thomsoniae is part of a whole group of related species in tropical Africa.
