Lauraceae … ???
I do not yet know the name of this Litsea. I need some time.
We can opt out the L. cubeba !
Thank you …, for the information which I am saving. My studies on Litsea is in initial stage only. I will reveal everything in due course.
My last desire at this age is to publish a book on Indo-Burmese Lauraceae which is nearing completion. At this stage I need full support of the group for as many field photographs of Lauraceae as possible.
After checking all these species in POWO and GBIF, I feel it appears close to specimens of Litsea kingii in GBIF (specimen one and two). Alos see

Maybe …. According to book its distribution is in Eastern Nepal only, not in Central Nepal.
