Location: Godawari, Lalitpur,, Nepal
Altitude: 1566 m.
Date: 04 June 2019
Habit : Wild
Actinodaphne sikkimensis Meisn. ??

Looks different from images at Actinodaphne sikkimensis
May be some Neolitsea/ Litsea species as per comparative images herein.

Does not look matching with both sp. and all listed in ACFPN whichever images available in the net.
Fruits are in a bunch of more than 10, all facing upwards and tapering at the end and almost pointed.

Images are not of Actinodaphne sikkimensis, It is Litsea species. Flowers are lacking but very near to Litsea chartacea (Wall. ex Nees) Hook.f.


Thank you …, Yes it matches I guess. Measurement of drupe is also matching.
L. chartacea


I feel it can be Litsea doshia (D.Don) Kosterm. as per POWO specimen and GBIF specimens- one and two and Online Flora of Nepal.



Finally, flowers after 3 and half years.

Hope ID is correct.


Is it from the same place: Godawari, Lalitpur,, Nepal?


Same tree.


So ID is OK according to flowers ?


I think so.

Is it the same sp.: SK1992 11 June 2019. ??

Yes. Appears to be similar.


Litsea chartacea as per SK1992 11 June 2019

Yes … Same one !

I feel it can be Litsea doshia (D.Don) Kosterm. as per POWO specimen and GBIF specimens- one and two and Online Flora of Nepal.


I think you are right although I do not have detailed knowledge in Litsea. So I remained silent.


Publication on Indian Litsea is overdue.
