Thank you.
Yes
Related to Ternstromiaceae, tea family.
I have never heard of Ternstromiaceae before… forgive my ignorance.
I have looked it up and found this….”Trees and Shrubs online.”

According to the link above they seems too have 5 petals and multiple stamens…I believe that this rules it out.
Perhaps it could be a species of Ilex!
5 images.
Cannot copy and paste full reply so have added a photo of their most helpful message.
That is great news. https://ppbc.iplant.cn/sp/21617
Leaves and flowers look exactly like my pics.
I was the 1st who suggested Ilex initially.
I found it very interesting. This has got distribution in Nepal at 3000m, but eflora China gave its range at 2000-3700m.
I am reposting these pics again….now fully labelled as Ilex delaveyi in the hope others may find then on www in the future.
Seems it has already been checked…not that I understand anything on link below.
Well above my pay grade!
All above pics mis spelt.
Now corrected to……
ILEX DELAVAYI
