Good evening Garg Sir and thank you for resurfacing the post.

Dear Garg Sir,

I think there are some similarities between the images of my post and the images available in Muthu Ji's post (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/Litsea$20glutinosa/indiantreepix/r2xrYxROdNk/TcRv8QV8HH0J).

• the leaves of my image (set2_DSCN3940.jpg) = Muthu Ji's listea fl.JPG
• the flowers pics (set2_DSCN3938.jpg) & (set2_DSCN3941.jpg) = Muthu Ji's "litsea flowers.jpg" = flower pic available at FoI
• some info on two varieties of Litsea glutinosa - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=20000884

I think it is Litsea glutinosa unless experts think otherwise.

Thank you & Regards,

Surajit Koley

Great set of photos.

For me the ID is correct.  Could be Litsea glutinosa var.glutinosa  as the lateral veins are more than 8 pairs.
