This little creeper with the pretty little blue flowers, on the forest floor, what could it be?

It looks like a Gesneriad, but the flowers are supposed to have 5 lobes.

Are there any more details to show? Fruit?

The leaf shape and venation of Coccocypselum capitatum looks a good match,

https://sites.google.com/site/...

Coccocypselum cordifolium is also a good match ..

https://sites.google.com/site/...

I've been through the list and some are not in the area, others don't have matching leaves, most have more veins.

Coccocypselum capitatum flowers look to have a yellow throat ..

https://sites.google.com/site/...

Coccocypselum cordifolium flowers look to have a white throat ..

https://sites.google.com/site/...

Yours appear to have both white and yellow throats but mostly white. Coccocypselum capitatum appears to grow in more grassy areas, for these reasons I would go with Coccocypselum cordifolium BUT the tip of the leaves match C. capitatum better, they are more rounded.
