Hello

It may be Memecylon species from Melastromaceae.

This looks more like a species of Neolitsea, to me. My guess is based
on the last pair of veins of leaves.

Please check the leaf beneath whether it is glaucus (whitish/grayish).
You can easily come to a conclusion whether it is a Lauracean by
smelling the crushed leaf, you get a spicy smell on crushing the
leaf.

Regards
Giby

Dear Panda da,

The plant appears very close to Litsea cubeba (Lauraceae) which is
grown in most of the houses in Arunachal Pradesh. Though the leaf
shape looks different here. The fruits of L. cubeba have a very strong
taste and are eaten after making Chutney.

Waiting for more comments.

Ritesh.
