It looks a lot like Coral Nymph which these days would be called an old fashioned cultivar but a very good one. I love coccinea except for one thing, in hot summer afternoons flowering stops. I remember having lots of it mixed in a big patch one summer with zinnia. They are a fantastic pair by the way. A garden tour came on an August afternoon and only the zinnias were in evidence, not a single coccinea flower was left. "I can explain!"
