Sharing some pictures for identification. Shot at Surya Binayak Bhaktapur Nepal on 5 July 2016 at 5500 ft.
If I am to guess, this can be Maesa sp.

According to the color of fruits and the leaf texture it slightly matches with the Maesa japonica (Thunb.) Moritzi. ex Zoll. but I am not sure. But it is not recorded in Nepal as per available records.  Please advise.

pl. see comparative images at Maesa in efi along with other details

Look like Maesa for me too…

In Maesa, flowers are in axillary racemes. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200016854.
Here it looks like cauliflorous. To me it may be a species of Rapanea of Myrsinnaceae family.

According to the listing of Myrsine in Nepal and leaf and cluster of fruits it looks closer to Myrsine capitellata. Request your final opinion.

I think Myrsine capitellata is correct

Ficus species?

I guess Myrsinaceae sp.

A species of Rapanea

There is only one Rapanea listed in Nepal Rapanea capitellata (Wall.) Mez. which accepted name is Myrsine seguinii H. Lév. (accepted name).
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=121522
Is this the one? 

Looks close to your another post SK77AUG14-1016:ID on Myrsine seguinii

Earlier images were shot in 5 July 2016 bearing pink fruits and the later shot in 8 September 2016 bearing green fruits. So some confusion is still there.

Thanks,  …   Yeah,  I noticed the difference in color.

Rapanea sp

Only choice is Myrsine capitellata Wall. as does not match with other two.
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=121522

… might be right. But arent Myrsine spp supposed to have serrated leaves?

I guess Myrsine semiserrata Wall. has got serrated leaves.

According to POWO :  Species Myrsine capitellata Wall.
According to WFO : Myrsine capitellata Wall.
