I think Ligustrum sp.

Pl. check comparative images at Ligustrum

Agreed, Ligustrum sp.

For me … ID is correct. Could be L.lucidum or L.japonicum

I guess this too Ligustrum lucidum W. T. Aiton.
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=200017794

On further scrutiny and going through descriptions in Flora of China as also discussed in MS March, 2020/15 Ligustrum compactum ? for ID/confirmation, it should be Ligustrum compactum due to large lanceolate leaves, long acuminate apex and more no. of lateral veins and being wild.

I think it may be Ligustrum nepalense Wall. as per publication at Ligustrum indicum
Pl. confirm or otherwise.

Adding some images shot at Kathmandu, Nepal on 22 January 2017 which I guess is same plant . However, Ligustrum perrottetii is not listed in Nepal so my guess is Ligustrum lucidum W.T.Aiton (accepted name) as per the links I have sent in the earlier mail.
Waiting for the validation.

Sending keys and description form the book Flora of Kathmandu Valley
2 attachments

Specimens, though low resolution to see the finer details, appear to match with this posting.
Your book link (by whom and when published not clear?) in subsequent reply, mentions L.indica (now a syn. of L.sinense and not native as per POWO) and not L.nepalense.
So I finally take it as L.nepalense.

Flora of Kathmandu valley (1986) cover

Publication attached by … is from 1995.

Thank you … L. indicum is L. sinense and L. nepalense is different according to the latest book published in 2022 BY. Dr. KK Shrestha et all.

L. confusum Decne

L. hookeri Decne.

L. nepalense Wall.

But I am not able match

Ligustrum‎ species so far in efi

Was it in a habited area ?

If so, pl. consider Ligustrum lucidum W.T.Aiton

It was in wild.

I feel close to images at your other posts on the suggested species.

I think it is Ligustrum confusum Decne. as per keys in Flora of Bhutan as below:

1. Inflorescence branches densely pubescent; leaves elliptic to ovate, usually less than 7cm long . . . . .. 1. L. confusum
+ Inflorescence branches glabrous; leaves ovate to lanceolate, usually more than 7cm long . . . . . . . . . .. 2. L. compactum

Thank you … I guess it is matching !

Could it be Ligustrum nepalense Wall. ? As it does not seem matching with L. confusum.

Ligustrum confusum Decne.

Ligustrum nepalense Wall.
Ligustrum nepalense Wall.

Let us see what the details discussions say as per Flora of China:

First the keys:

27 (25)	Leaf blade glabrous or occasionally pubescent only along midrib adaxially, ovate to elliptic; pedicel 0-1 mm		16 Ligustrum confusum
+	Leaf blade ± hairy, if glabrous, then blade lanceolate and inflorescences axillary or terminal; pedicel 1-5 mm		17 Ligustrum sinense

Ligustrum confusum Decaisne:

Shrubs or small trees to 8 m. Branchlets terete, puberulent when young, glabrescent. Petiole 4-5(-10) mm, glabrous or puberulent; leaf blade ovate to elliptic, sometimes lanceolate, 2.5-7(-10) × 1.3-3(-5) cm, thin leathery, glabrous or sometimes pubescent near base of midrib adaxially, base cuneate to broadly cuneate or rounded, apex acuminate or acute; primary veins 4-6 on each side of midrib. Panicles terminal, 4-11 × 2-8 cm; rachis puberulent to pubescent. Flowers subsessile. Calyx 1-1.5 mm, glabrous. Corolla 4-5 mm; tube ca. as long as lobes. Stamens not exceeding corolla lobes; anthers 1-1.5 mm. Fruit black or black-brown, subglobose to obovoid, 6-11 mm in diam.

Thickets near gullies; 800-2100 m. Xizang, Yunnan [Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sikkim, Vietnam]

Flora of China illustration

Ligustrum sinense Loureiro (syn: Ligustrum indicum (Lour.) Merr. as per Checklist of Nepal & as per Catalogue of Life) :

Shrubs or small trees 2-4(-7) m, deciduous. Branchlets terete, villous, pubescent, pilose, puberulent, to glabrescent. Petiole 2-8 mm; leaf blade ovate, oblong, elliptic to lanceolate, or suborbicular, 2-7(-13) × 1-3(-5.5) cm, densely villous to sparsely pubescent or glabrous, papery to somewhat leathery, base cuneate to subrounded, apex acute to acuminate, sometimes obtuse and retuse; primary veins 4-6(or 7) on each side of midrib, impressed or plane adaxially, somewhat raised abaxially. Panicles terminal or axillary, 4-11 × 3-8 cm, with or without leaf at base. Pedicel 1-5 mm. Calyx 1-1.5 mm, glabrous or pubescent. Corolla 3.5-5.5 mm; tube slightly shorter than lobes. Stamens reaching apex of corolla lobes or exceeding that; anthers ca. 1 mm. Fruit subglobose, 5-8 mm in diam.

7 (6)

Leaf blade ovate to oblong or suborbicular, sparsely pubescent or glabrescent abaxially

17a var. sinense

Mixed forests, valleys, along streams, thickets, woods, ravines; 200-2700 m. Anhui, Fujian, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Taiwan, Xizang, Yunnan, Zhejiang [Vietnam]

Flora of China illustration
From the above, both appears to be quite close.

In your plant, leaf blades are glabrous, flowers subsessile (i.e. pedicles appears to be small (say 0-1 mm)), rachis puberulent to pubescent, panicles terminal– So I will go for Ligustrum confusum

In addition, in your post on the same species at SK2073 25 July 2019, Corolla tube ca. as long as lobes. Stamens not exceeding corolla lobes;

Neither Flora of Bhutan does not mention Ligustrum nepalense Wall. nor does Flora of Mizoram as per MS March, 2020/15 Ligustrum compactum ? for ID/confirmation. I am also not finding its description even in POWO. But here also inflorescence is clearly axillary and terminal, which does not appears to be in your case.
If you find its description, pl. post here.

India Biodiversity Portal but no keys and description.

I think it may be Ligustrum nepalense Wall. as per publication at Ligustrum indicum
Pl. confirm or otherwise.

Ligustrum sp. ! ??

It does seem to be Ligustrum.

the Ligustrum photo did not have enough details.
The plant had ellipsoid drupes; so may be L. robustum, L. compactum, L. lucidum among others…
If u have some more photos it may be of help.

L. confusum, indicum and lucidum listed in Kathmandu Valley !

I would probably like to go with L. robustum because of:
1. Branchlets spreading, densely lenticellate

2. Lf. 5-12 × 2.5-5 cm, ovate, ovate- lanceolate, ovate- elliptic, acuminate, base, glabrous, pale beneath.

3. Panicles upto 35 cm long, pyramidal, lax

4. Fruits ellipsoid-oblong
Some major differentiating characters are related to flowers which are not available here.

L. robustum is not listed in Nepal as far as I know.

Following are recorded in Nepal.

http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=118549

L. confusum Decne

L. hookeri Decne.
L. nepalense Wall.

Pl. also see that none of the mentioned species by you is not a synonym of the species mentioned by …

Yes ..! No matching.

Appears same species as at

Ligustrum species- Nagarkot, Nepal & Ligustrum species- Nagrakot, Nepal

I think we would have to wait for flowering…many of the differentiating characters are related to flowers without which it may be difficult to reach any definitive conclusions.

Was it in a habited area ?

If so, pl. consider Ligustrum lucidum W.T.Aiton

It was in wild.

I feel close to images at your other posts on the suggested species.

I think it is Ligustrum confusum Decne. as per keys in Flora of Bhutan as below:
1. Inflorescence branches densely pubescent; leaves elliptic to ovate, usually less than 7cm long . . . . .. 1. L. confusum
+ Inflorescence branches glabrous; leaves ovate to lanceolate, usually more than 7cm long . . . . . . . . . .. 2. L. compactum

I guess correct ID.

I think it may be Ligustrum nepalense Wall. as per publication at Ligustrum indicum
Pl. confirm or otherwise.

Sharing some pictures for identification please. Pictures were shot at Nagrakot Nepal on 8 July 2016 at 7000 ft.

Adding some more pictures of shot at same location on 13 August 2016 which I guess is same. Attachments (4)

Please check species of Wendlandia of Rubiaceae family.

Wendlandia species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net)

I stand corrected, it is Ligustrum and not Wendlandia.
I replied to another thread that it could be Wendlandia.

Is it Ligustrum sinense var. sinense (accepted name) ???

Ligustrum indicum (Lour.) Merr. (synonym)

http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=230003191 ??

I do not think these matches with images at

Some Ligustrum species (Oleaceae).

Ligustrum species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net)

Ligustrum nepalense syn: Ligustrum indicum ?? Adding some ,more pictures shot on 13 August 2016 at the same location but different tree.
I guess both are same. Attachments (5)

Ligustrum indicum (LOUR.) MERRILL = Ligustrum sinense Lour.

The flowers look quite different from L.sinense. Compare the flower structure at this site http://www.rnr.lsu.edu/plantid/species/privet/privet.htm. Hence it is not L.sinense. Also check the morphological characters with other species in Oleacea.

I stand corrected, it is Ligustrum and not Wendlandia.
I replied to another thread that it could be Wendlandia.

Correct Id ?

For me the photographs do not match any of the available species on net. It may not be even Ligustrum. Can you please send a close up of the flower(s) photograph(s) if any ?.

Sorry, no more close-ups ! Shall try if still remaining !

Was it in a habited area ? If so, pl. consider Ligustrum lucidum W.T.Aiton

It was in wild.

I feel close to images at your other posts on the suggested species.

I think it may be Ligustrum confusum (being wild) in view of the shape of the opened flowers in comparison to those at Ligustrum compactum

I think it may be Ligustrum nepalense Wall. as per publication at Ligustrum indicum
Pl. confirm or otherwise.
