Many thanks Saroj ji.

But leaves of Sarcococca coriacea have veins arising from the midrib and meeting the other primary veins running along the margin.

I was wondering whether this could be any species of Cinnamomum.

Let us wait for more comments.

Fruits look different in

It appears to be some Sarcococca species only.

I have earlier suggested Sarcococca coriacea (Hook.) Sweet.

Thank you.
