I think this is Mallotus phillipensis..

Or may be other Mallotus sp.

[J.M. Garg]

To me looks different from images at Mallotus philippensis

Hi, Sawmliana ji,

What are the species of Mallotus reported from your area ?

Mallotus ferrugineus, M.leucocarpus, M.philippensis & M.roxburghianus are reported in Mizoram.

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Swamliana ji,

Of these, Mallotus leucocarpus is an imperfectly known species. Do you have images of that? The present images are nearest to M. nepalensis.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Tapas ji.

[J.M. Garg]

To me appears close to images and details at Mallotus tetracoccus

Both WCSP & Catalogue of Life give Mallotus ferrugineus as its synonym.

Thank you so much. However, I do not see any paniculate inflorescence as well as dense ferrugineous tomentum of Mallotus tetracoccus. Hence I do not agree. I had already suggested Mallotus nepalensis instead.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Tapas ji, for the id.

To me also appears close to high resolution specimens from GBIF as below:

One thumbnail image from Bhutan Biodiversity portal is visible on google search as first image (although site is not opening) and seems close.
