Dear Satish Sir, I fail to find what is "unique leaf shape" in the photograph you uploaded. This flower is not *Pentapetes phoenicea* L. The flowers doesn't have 5 tongue shaped staminodes, characteristic feature of the species.
Instead, this flower features stamens having filaments connate to a tube, a typical feature of *Malvaceae* members like *Hibiscus*. One more feature is style branches reflexed, something like http://www.pariscotejardin.fr/2012/05/pavonia-miskii/. So, without detail of epicalyx, calyx, or even fruit it is hard to identify even at genus level.
