Looks different from images at Actinodaphne sikkimensis

May be some Neolitsea/ Litsea species as per comparative images herein.

Dear Mr. Garg,

Does not look matching with both sp. and all listed in ACFPN

whichever images available in the net.

Fruits are in a bunch of more than 10, all facing upwards

and tapering at the end and almost pointed.

Thank you.

Dear Garg Ji,

Images are not of Actinodaphne sikkimensis, It is Litsea species. Flowers are lacking but very near to Litsea chartacea (Wall. ex Nees) Hook.f. 

[Saroj Kasaju]

Thank you Rajeev Sir,

Yes it matches I guess. Measurement of drupe is also matching.

L. chartacea

Thanks, Saroj ji

I feel it can be Litsea doshia (D.Don) Kosterm. as per POWO specimen and GBIF specimens- one and two and Online Flora of Nepal.

Please compare with images at FoI ! https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flowersofindia.net%2Fcatalog%2Fslides%2FDoshi%2520Laurel.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flowersofindia.net%2Fcatalog%2Fslides%2FDoshi%2520Laurel.html&tbnid=B49-q_Hiv9o2HM&vet=12ahUKEwizwJK94oX7AhW2ktgFHT1aAncQMygAegUIARC7AQ..i&docid=zPdabgPhly8DVM&w=600&h=450&q=litsea%20doshia&hl=en&client=safari&ved=2ahUKEwizwJK94oX7AhW2ktgFHT1aAncQMygAegUIARC7AQ

Can not say about FOI images.

[J.M. Garg]

I think Thingnam ji's images of L.doshia in FOI looks like those of Litsea glutinosa

L.doshia is restricted to Nepal as per POWO.

Tabish ji may like to correct.
