I found two more clusters farther away from the unpaved road. They look much better, bigger flowers too. It's getting dark, but I still have enough light to take an UV Bee Vision pictures (the last picture).

The second picture is UV flora, aka Bee Vision
I saw two white-lined sphinx moths feeding on the flowers...I couldn't get a picture of sphinx moth because it's too dark.
See the tiny red sidewalk mite (Genus Balaustium)?

The last two pictures are UV flora, aka Bee Vision
It's sunny today, the best day for UV reflective photography.
See the last two picture, that's where the pollens left by a pollinator.
From the UV colorations, I think this plant is pollinated by Hawk moths or Butterflies....

Thank you @rlhardin and Oliver

Grausa gayana, una trepadora endemica de chile, crece desde el biobio hasta la araucania.
Miembro de la familia Loasaceae(ortigas).
A diferencia de las Loasas esta no produce urticaria. Desconozco mas acerca de su biologia pues no encontre mucha informacíon. Es poco conocida al parecer.

Habita en los bosques humedos, quebradas. Esta la encontre en una vertiente en un bosque laurifolio costero cercano al lago budi, IX region. De hecho trepaba sobre un Triwe(laurelia sempervirens).
