Wild guess seems to Casearia sp, check once with local floras which one mentioned there Lila Ji,

matched characters are Alternate leaves, inflorescence axillary clusters with small peduncles and fruits with lobes or slight pyrens,

With regards.

Please compare with Drypetes subsessilis of Putranjivaceae.

[lila]

Dear Chakrabarty Sir,

Thank you very much for your kind cooperation. Your suggestion is very helpful. It resembles more with D. assamica. 

I think we are pretty close. 

@ Paradesi ji: I think its more close to Drypetes assamica. 

Sincerely,

Lila

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

There are three closely related species: D. assamica, D. bhattacharyae and D. subsessilis. Here, your fruits are subsessile which suggests D. subsessilis. For confirmation, you should have the male flowers. The male flowers in D. subsessilis are up to 5 mm in diameter with 3-4 stamens while in D. assamica, the male flowers are about 10 mm in diameter with 8-12 stamens. 

In case you wish to treat them as conspecific, then the name D. subsessilis will have to be adopted for the combined species.

Dear Chakrabarty sir,

Thanks for the detail information about the species. I will wait for flowers and update you about the flower characters. 

Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Lila 

[Paradesi Anjaneyulu]

 Yes, Lila Ji Tapas sir is correct it's Drypetes only, check properly for sp., Thank you so much Tapas sir for enlightening from the post,

With regards.

[Saroj Kasaju]

Saroj ji,

You are right. No Drypetes has been recorded so far for Nepal but two species are there in Bhutan (assamica and subsessilis).

[Saroj Kasaju]

Thank you Tapas da for information.

Thanks a lot, Tapas ji and Lila ji, for nailing this id.

On examination of specimens in GBIF, I feel it is Drypetes assamica and not Drypetes subsessilis as per specimens herein and as per the following specimens:

Also matches with Tapas ji images at Drypetes assamica
