Seeing on my mobile. Not sure. At first sight it appears to me to be Glochidion bhutanicum or near to that. Please compare with the type image available online at Edinburgh herbarium. Also have a look at the original description.

No.

Try bhutanicm and nubigenum. I am on the move. Unable to verify.

This is Glochidion nubigenum Hook.f., an addition for EFI.

Thank you for the ID.

interesting. I need to search. cant find this sp name in our Glochidion page

Indian biodiversity portal lists this
https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/282636ards

Yes.

Thank you all. I have seen all comments and links. First, I request you not to mix up Glochidion with Phyllanthus. The former is clearly distinct from the latter in absence of floral glands.
The present images are, due to absence of a disc, referable to Glochidion. As regards the species, I know from my experience that species of Glochidion invariably have a glabrous counterpart or vice versa.
Here, the species is Glochidion nubigenum Hook.f. but I am not seeing any trace of hairs on the images. Thus, after further investigation, you may describe this as a new (glabrous) variety of G. nubigenum, in case you have collected ample samples for preparing herbarium specimens.

Unfortunately, I have not collected specimen. Need to wait for next year !

yes. that should be our next phase of development. collecting herbarium specimen. … has one and perhaps …
I used to until in my absence insects and fungi took their toll and I had to discard all.
how can one do it at home level, … in this hot humid environment

That is good suggestion …! Sometimes, I used to collect.
