Wild guess is Ochna


Thanks, …,I do not think flowers look like those of Ochna as per images herein.


Any idea about the family ?


Looking like Skimmia arborescens T.Anderson ex Gamble


Even I have a feeling of it being a Skimmia sp. Will try to check the fruits and confirm.


I think … may be right in his id as per Keys in Flora of China and BSI Flora of India.
