This is a species of Calicarpa possibly C.longifolia.
Yes …, you are right
Callicarpa sp.
Yes I too agree with Callicarpa sp. May be Callicarpa arborea
It can’t be Callicarpa arborea, which is a tree of 8m tall. I think … is correct. At least search of google indicates the plant to be Callicarpa longifolia The plant is from North Bengal. I have seen it at Assam also. I am with …, most likely the plant is Callicarpa longifolia.
