Could this be Sarcococca coriacea?

If the answer in no, then try Neolitsea umbrosa!

Welcome Saroj ji.

Someone is guessing it is Cocculus laurifolius.

Opinion please ! 

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

I made a suggestion only. The narrow leaves decurrent into petioles, first pair of lateral nerves somewhat stronger than the subsequent pairs, axillary clustered cymes perhaps somewhat abbreviated and racemiform with fruits at basal nodes prompted me to think of Sarcococca. Whether ovary and fruits were 2-locular?

Good images are available in EFI page.

I think closer to Sarcococca as in Sarcococca coriacea rather than images at Cocculus laurifolius

Same images posted by you at Fwd: SK4MAR5-2016:ID & identified as Neolitsea umbrosa (Nees) Gamble by Tapas ji.

Gargji,

Really very confusing situation created by Sarjo ji by posting three different species in an earlier thread as indicated by you - the images with red fruits are of one species, and black fruits and flowers are supposed Sarcococca posted separately now and the last image is supposed Lauraceae again posted recently.

In the present thread, again, the first image has green fruits and somewhat looking different from the black fruits.  Could it be a mixture again or images taken from different trees? Look at the black fruits, there are remains of styles at the apices which are appearing bilobed at tip indicating that the fruits were 2-locular and in such case this would be Sarcococca. The species S. coriacea is known to have 2-locular fruits.  Saroj ji is the best person to clarify.

Regards,

Tapas.

Dear all,

In my earlier post it was mix upof mutiple post so I have reposted it separately thinking that all images are from same plant ! May be green fruits imagecis from different species. 

Let us focus on black fruits only.

Sorry for confusion.

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju 

[J.M. Garg]

These images appears to be of Sarcococca wallichii
