Attaching a few images of a  small plant . Images were taken in North Bengal forest.

If my memory serves me correctly, I have seen this plant in Tezpur ( Assam ) in 2002. Fruits look like bunch of grapes( upright not hanging ).

Please identify.

[J.M. Garg]

Appears to be some Rubiaceae member?

My guess, Sir, Rauvolfia verticillata, as in -

1. http://plantgenera.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=86698&id_taxon=1055&mobile=0&SID=3b4anee2ik0j986p3anhff3bg2&language=English&thumbnails_selectable=0&selected_thumbnail=0&query_type=species&query_broad_or_restricted=broad&group=0&lay_out=0&uhd=0

Thank you.

Please check Chassalia species..

Yes, Sir, it is more probably Chassalia.

But, "Bengal Plants" doesn't have any. As per Flora of British India (it is spelled as Chasalia), there are -

1. Psychotria montana (Chasalia montana) - Assam
2. Chasalia curviflora - Eastern Tropical Himalaya

Ii might be the Chassalia curviiflora - https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/r/rubiaceae/chassalia/chassalia-curviflora

Thank you.

Thanks, Surajit ji and Kanhaiya Lal ji.

Does not match with images at Chassalia curviflora var. ophioxyloides

It may be some Psychotria species as per comparative images herein. 

[surajit koley]

Don't know Sir, "Bengal Plants" has only Psychotria adenophylla Wall., from Chittagong (KHASIA and CACHAR in Fl. Br. Ind.).

Fl. Br. Ind. also includes from the region (Assam, or Nepal or Sikkim or Khasia) -

P. erratica Hook. f.

P. fulva Ham.

P. symplocifolia Kurz.

P. calocarpa Kurz.

P. thomsoni Hook.f.

P. denticulata Wall.

P. silhetensis Hook. f.

P. montana Bl.

Of all the above, is it similar to https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/r/rubiaceae/psychotria/psychotria-monticola???

Thank you.

Best regards,

Surajit Koley

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Surajit ji, for the id.

I agree with you as per images at Psychotria monticola and as per GBIF specimens form our area- one, two and three.

Thanks a lot. 

[surajit koley]

Thanks, Sir ji, Psychotria was your idea, I wonder how plants propagate, breaking the borders mapped in British India!

life is short

time is running out

don't try to know everything

utilize what you already know

[J.M. Garg]

This looks different from Psychotria monticola Kurz as per POWO specimens- one and two.

We have to check with other species. 

[surajit koley]

Any probability of the other one, i.e.  Chasalia curviflora?

Thank you

Regards

surajit

[J.M. Garg]

Looks different from images at Chassalia curviflora var. ophioxyloides

Some Psychotria species or from related genus, only.

Well, Sir, currently I am fully occupied with my school and family. Hope you or some other member will find the correct id soon.

Thank you,

[J.M. Garg]

I also tried all these species with POWO specimens, but could not find a match.

I am very sorry, Sir, after the reopening of schools we are on a very tight schedule now. Hope to find some off-time in near future to explore further.

Thank you
