Id Please I am very curious to know the id of this beautiful wild plant.
I haven’t any idea, yet you may try Dichroa. Please, bear with me if your search yields nothing. Could be Dichroa febrifuga If this inflorescence is called panicle this is Dichroa febrifuga Lour (FBI has only this), i can see 5 styles in some flowers. This small densely flowered shrub was occasionally found in Pelling area of Sikkim, present shots are from LBG, Darjeeling..

It looks different. Initially I thought so but it looks like close to It. Did not find matching to other ! Let us wait for more feedback. Yes, id is correct as per details at Hydrangea febrifuga
Confusion seems to be due to few flowers here instead of a large bunch.
Please identify the shrub from Phenk (Nagaland) I guess Hydrangeaceae, may be some Hydrangea sp ? Deutzia sp. ?? Thanks, … I think looks different as per Deutzia It could be Dichroa febrifusa = Hydrangea febrifusa Thanks a lot, … That seems to be a good possibility as per images and details at Hydrangea febrifuga I was thinking about this earlier but could not decide since I could not get the exact match!
