SK 2210 08 October 2019 : 9 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (6)- around 800 kb each. Location: Ranibari, Kathmandu Which Solanaceae ???
Attachments (1)- 6 mb. Attachments (1)- 6 mb. Attachments (1)- 6 mb. Appears to be some Solanum species I have checked listed in Nepal but did not find a match. I had mentioned Solanaceae only. Looks closer to genus Lycianthes. could it be ardisia ? Thank you … for the clue !
I guess Lycianthes biflora (Lour.) Bitter ! Is ID correct ? Yes, appears so as per references at Lycianthes biflora SK873 23 NOV-2017:ID : 5 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2) Location: Ghandruk, Kaski, Nepal
Altitude:7000 ft.
Date: 17 November 2017 Only this image. Would be difficult to ID.
However, no harm in trying !

Lycianthes lysimachioides (Wall.) Bitter ??
Difficult for ID as all Lycianthes fruits are red !
Pl. check Calyx from images at Flickr (with few images on either side)
http://efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=4670&flora_id=2 For me Flickr image look like matching but difficult to confirm. I guess this is Lycianthes biflora (Lour.) Bitter since the calyx 10 dentate.
