FOR ID :: Dicots The Nilgiris :: Jan 28, 2026 · 8:47 AM IST along Ooty – Kotagiri Highway, about 2165 m asl Please check for Beilschmiedia dalzellii or allied Many many thanks … for pointing to Beilschmiedia and allied species. I did a little bit of checking on the internet for Beilschmiedia dalzellii / Beilschmiedia wightii / Phoebe paniculata. Beilschmiedia wightii seems the best candidate – because of the glossy upper surface of the leaves, the distinctly pale underside with the heavy, prominent midrib. Yes, I could be wrong.
