. Location: Godawari, Nepal Date: 18 April 2018 Altitude: 5000 ft. Habit: Wild Disporum cantoniense (Lour.) Merr.?? I find it closer to Disporum calcaratum D.Don rather than Disporum cantoniense (Lour.) Merr. as per images herein. Maybe if the spurs elongate I would agree that it is D. calcaratum. It is definitely not D. cantoniense. Is the plant evergreen?
