Location: Nagarkot, Nepal 
Altitude: 7000 ft.

Same plant on 31 March 2017!
Would it help to ID ?


Probably a Lamiaceae member. Difficult to reach to any conclusion.



Pl. also check comparative images at Lonicera 

I have already checked. Cannot decide. What about flower images ?

Looks like a Rubiaceae member. Fruit bears calyx at the top.

Finally, I guess the ID is Lonicera macrantha (D. Don) Spreng.

Please validate.

Enclosing details about Lonicera found in Kathmandu valley for your reference please !


Thanks, …  Pl. try to check these in net. 


Enclosing some links I am not sure it is the same.


Yes appears close as per images at

Is it Lonicera or other Sp.?
I guess it is matching to the ID I have suggested earlier. Out of 3 Lonicera found in the Kathmandu Valley it only looks like matching the best for this twiner.

Thanks, … Pl. check at /species/a—l/c/caprifoliaceae/lonicera


I guess Lonicera macrantha (D.Don) Spreng. if elevation is 1500-2100 m.


Lonicera japonica


Probably Lonicera macrantha

I still think it is L. macrantha.
