Is this again Daphne papyracea ?? I think yes    What shrub?/ABOCT13 : 3 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3).
I always thought these new growths to be sprouts of Rhododendrons. Their leaves are very similar in colour, texture and shape but today I saw white flowers on the plants. They are barely two feet off the ground. What am I looking at here?

ID_ J & K : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2) Please see This … Should be Daphne papyracea.. Yes Daphne payracea Syn: D. cannabina. I must have shared pictures of the Indian Paper Plant with this group earlier but I could not find any reference in my records. This is a very common plant in the under storey along with Sarcococca saligna. I thought I will make an additional post to the previous ones but I cannot find those. So here it is stand alone with ripe berries.

22 March 2015 The plant uploaded seems to be Daphne papyracea Daphne bushes are in flower now with their dark green leaves dappled in cedar pollen. I am sharing some photos from my walk on 9 October. 4 images. A pleasure to see the flowers (and fruits) of Daphne papyracea. Have observed the foliage in forests. I know D.murconata from Kashmir.
Collet knew this under the name D.cannabina (there is a line drawing in ‘Flora Simlensis’) – see gives flower colour as white or lilac.
Stewart found this to be common in mesophytic forest from the Indus eastwards @ 2400-3000m.

so which is it? do we have an expert? who can look at this case?

To me leaves look much broader compared to leaves in various thread under Daphne papyracea Could it be Daphne sureil W. W. Smith & Cave (accepted name) ?? This appears to be another genus which requires investigating further. I have minimal familiarity with the genus other than Daphne mucronata in Kashmir. Enumeration of Flowering Plants of Nepal lists D.sureil (which is an accepted name in ‘The Plant List’) and there is a pressed specimen in the Kew herbarium under this name but this says the Nepalese plants (of this species) need further study.
Flora of Bhutan has a key to the species of Daphne found in Bhutan & Sikkim. D.papyracea is only known from Kashmir to Nepal. D.sureil is described as similar to D.bholua but a larger shrub.
I cannot comment further at this stage. Yet another genus I need to look at further…… Looks more close with images of this species at http://www.seidelbast.net/sureil.html On scrutiny of all posts in efi along with eFloras, I feel it is more closer to details & images at Daphne papyracea Wall. ex Steud.
