¿ Elaeocarpus variabilis Zmarzty ?
along Ooty – Kotagiri Highway, about 2186 m asl
I think something from Lauraceae.
Ok, possible
Beilschmiedia bourdillinii!
Why POWO does not give its distribution in India while mentioning it as a syn. of Beilschmiedia gemmiflora (Blume) Kosterm.?
Because Kostermans had considered the Malesia B. gemmiflora to be conspecific with the Indian B. bourdillonii. Here you may add B. dalzellii as well.
