Also check 
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/actinodaphne-wightiana/, if it is Actinodaphene, as the back side does not appear to be glaucose.

Ok, many many thanks Garg ji.

As of now, I am not able to analyse. I have added a comment in iNaturalist to check / validate ID of Actinodaphne wightiana (Kuntze) Noltie

I have also added a cropped photo to the observation to get closer to leaves.

Regards.

The following species are reported from Nilgiri district as per IFO:
https://indiaflora-ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=8141&cat=13
https://indiaflora-ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=8148&cat=13

Out of these two, it appears more closer to images at 
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/neolitsea-foliosa-var-scrobiculata/

[Dinesh Valke]

Ok, Garg ji. Many thanks.

For now, I will label the observation with ID as Neolitsea foliosa var. scrobiculata (Meisn.) Chakrab.

Regards.
