Please help me to identify this large shrub found in the evergreen forests of Nilgiris.
The leaves were up to 15cm long.
Date: 16 July 2013
Alt.: 2000 m asl
Place: Kothagiri, Nilgiris, TN

This is Photinia integrifolia Lindl. from Rosaceae.

Interestingly,

India Biodiversity Portal (Photinia integrifolia Lindl. var. sublanceolata syn. Photinia notoniana Wt. & Arn.) & Biotik (Photinia integrifolia Lindl. var. sublanceolata syn. Photinia notoniana Wt. & Arn.) mention Photinia integrifolia Lindl. var. sublanceolata, while none of the following links talk of this variety:

Could it be Brazilian Pepper?

This Plant is indeed Brazilian Pepper [Schinus terebinthifolius; Family: Family – Anacardiaceae] . I support your identification of this plant. Please see in this link  hope you find the same plant…….

Don’t think this is Brazilian Pepper.

It could be syzygium sp

It looks to me Photinia integrifolia var. sublanceolata.

It seems to be Photinia sp. (Rosaceae).

This small tree was seen at Top-Station near Munnar.
Requesting ID..

Litsea floribunda. Leaf pictures would have helped to confirm I’d.

Inflorescence and leaf do not associate with Litsea or species related to Lauraceae.

Please check Wendlandia thyrsoidea.

Pittosporum sp.

I’d as Photinia integrifolia var. sublanceolata (Rosaceae) by … appears to be correct.

I think you have posted similar plant earlier. May I request you to pl. recall the id ?

Tried but could not !

Any idea about family ?

I think looks different from images at Photinia integrifolia 

I guess it is matching. Photinia integrifolia Lindl.

On further checking looks Ok as per Photinia integrifolia

Photinia integrifolia Lindl.  ??

Looks different from images at Photinia integrifolia 

Someone suggested it to be Skimmia sp. but I did not find any match. However, stamen count, which is 20 in number, is matching to P. intregifolia.

Yes, it is most probably Photinia integrifolia.

It is difficult to see images in detail when trying to enlarge. Can you please send high resolution images ?

Please check  Photinia integrifolia Lindl 

Pl. post high res. images to check the details.


1 high res. image.

Here are the differences between the two as per Flora of China:

Stranvaesia nussia (Buchanan-Hamilton ex D. Don) Decaisne  Photinia integrifolia Lindley
Trees to 5–9 m tall. Branchlets purplish brown when old, terete, densely pilose when young, gradually glabrescent, subglabrous when old. Petiole ca. 1 cm, pilose; stipules caducous, lanceolate, membranous; leaf blade oblanceolate or obovate-lanceolate, 6–8 × 2–3.5 cm, veins 10–12 pairs, abaxially pilose along veins, adaxially initially pilose, glabrescent, base cuneate, margin irregularly obtusely dentate, apex acute. Compound corymbs terminal, 6–9 × 8–12 cm, many flowered; rachis and pedicels densely pilose; bracts 4–6 mm, pubescent. Pedicel 5–10 mm. Flowers ca. 1 cm in diam. Hypanthium campanulate, abaxially pilose. Sepals triangular-lanceolate, 2.5–4 × 2.5–3 mm, margin entire, apex acute. Petals oblong or elliptic, 4–6 × 3–5 mm, base shortly clawed and barbate, apex emarginate. Stamens 20; filaments unequal in length, slightly shorter than sepals. Ovary semi-inferior, (4- or)5-loculed; styles (4 or)5, connate for ca. 1/2 length, base densely pubescent. Fruit orangish red, compressed-globose, ca. 8 mm in diam., pubescent when young, glabrate; sepals incurved; seeds 1 or 2 per locule.

Mixed forests; 500–2800 m. SE Xizang, Yunnan [NE India, N Laos, N Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, N Thailand]. 

 Trees evergreen, 5–7 m tall. Branchlets brown, terete, glabrous, blackish gray when old, with scattered suborbicular or oblong lenticels. Petiole (1–)2–4 cm, glabrous; leaf blade oblong, lanceolate, or oblanceolate, 6–12 × 3–5 cm, leathery, veins 12–17 pairs, both surfaces glabrous, base cuneate, rarely rounded, margin entire, apex acute or shortly acuminate. Compound corymbs terminal, much branched, 7–12 × 8–15 cm, many flowered; rachis and pedicels glabrous, rarely puberulous. Pedicel 3–5 mm. Flowers 4–5(–8) mm in diam. Hypanthium cupular, 1–1.5 mm, abaxially glabrous. Sepals broadly triangular, 1–1.5 mm, apex obtuse. Petals white or yellowish, orbicular, 1–2 mm in diam., glabrous, base shortly clawed. Stamens 20, nearly as long as or slightly longer than petals. Ovary pilose apically; styles 2, shorter than or nearly as long as stamens. Fruit purplish red, subglobose, 5–6 mm in diam., glabrous. Fl. May–Jun, fr. Sep–Oct. 2n = 34.
