Beautiful! I visited the Hortus Botanicus Leiden earlier in the summer for the first time. It's wonderful! I don't think I noticed this flower though.

It was in a narrow greenhouse passage just behind the room with the gigantic Alocasia (or other aroid).

Is this the same tree that produces the custard apple? It is really lovely.

It's in the same family, but another genus (Annona)
