small tree, locally called silling or shilling

growing at 6,500 ft altitude
would very much appreciate ann id

Looks like Osmanthus fragrans but not sure as there are no flowers

Many thanks for your help.

Apparently the tree gets covered with very fragrant white flowers in the summer. The fragrance causes some allergic reaction in the respiratory tract. This tree is growing wild and is not at all common in binsar. Unfortunately this is all the information i have so far.
