Looks like Mesua ferrea to me.

Dear Ritesh Ji,

I do not know this plant like thousands other. Never heard of Mesua also. Please take a relook.

This tree or shrub seems to have alternate leaves, in Mesua leaves are opposite (according to FoC).

Moreover, pic no. "065 03-04-2011 10-06-53.JPG" shows dentate margin.

Any chance of Agapetes acuminata (Wall.) D.Don ex G.Don?

Regards,

surajit

Sir,

This cannot be Agapetes for leaves have to be sprially arranged in Agapetes.

Leaves = short petiole + alternate + serrate + lanceolate + acuminate in Sikkim or Himalaya gives so many plants!

Regards,

surajit
