I guess Sarcococca saligna (D.Don) Müll.Arg. is the IDC.

Thank you.

I think looks different to me as per images at https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/b/buxaceae/sarcococca/sarcococca-pruniformis

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Here is full account of family Buxaceae!

One correction: Replace "Type species" by "Type"

Dear Anil Ji,

Your opinion please .

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[Dr. Anil Kumar Thakur]

Sir, no idea about Daphne special except D. papyracea which occurs in H.P.

Regards

[Saroj Kasaju]

You have posted some Buxus sp. recently as such 

I thought you would be knowing about Buxaceae.

No worries.

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[Dr. Anil Kumar Thakur]

Saroj ji, they were growing in Shimla.

Regards

[Ushadi Micromini]

how can one classify a plant based on 3 not so distinct pictures?

painstaking dissection and measurement and its documentation  is called for

Saroj ji 

ask yourself honest questions: 

can  you correlate those copy pasted pages' dimensions with your photographs?

is answer is yes, i salute you

if answer is no...

what can i say

[Saroj Kasaju]

I guess it is not matching with all suggested.

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[Saroj Kasaju]

I don't find it matching with any other Buxaceae than Sarcococca saligna (D.Don) Müll.Arg.

on the following  grounds!

ACFPoN : young branches light green, longitudinally ribbed, glabrous. Petiole slender, 5-8 mm; 

leaf blade lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, usually 6-8 × 1.2-2 cm, base cuneate, apex long acuminate, obtuse,

or slightly mucronate at tip; midrib elevated on both surfaces, lateral veins pinnate, basal a subtriplinerved pair

Inflorescences short racemes, erect, ca. 1 cm

Fl. Sep-Dec.

1200-2300 m.

It could be either the above sp. or some other genus I guess!

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[J.M. Garg]

Yes, Sarcococca saligna (D. Don) Müll. Arg. as per keys and comparative images at Sarcococca‎
