small tree for id mm4 30 01 2012: 2 images.
small tree, locally called silling or shilling
binsar wildlife sanctuary, near almora
growing at 6,500 ft altitude
would very much appreciate ann id Looks like Osmanthus fragrans but not sure as there are no flowers Many thanks for your help.
Apparently the tree gets covered with very fragrant white flowers in the summer. The fragrance causes some allergic reaction in the respiratory tract. This tree is growing wild and is not at all common in binsar. Unfortunately this is all the information i have so far.

Habit : Wild
Lauraceae ?? For me seems to be Elaeocarpaceae family Does not look like matching with any ! Please check Oleaceae Osmanthus fragrans Lour. ! Yes, appears close to images at Very close to Chionanthus sp. Already ID as Osmanthus fragrans Lour. ! ! Is that Final ID … Yes, I guess the ID is correct ! Looks different from images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/14/chionanthus/ Osmanthus fragrans Lour. is also from the same family. .
Location: Ribdikot, Harthok, Palpa, Nepal

Elevation: 1271 m.
Habit : Cultivated
Pl. check No …! I have posted Olea from the same location ! There is a mix up in this post. Also try Lauraceae for 1st 4 images. Yes, … First 5 images are from one plant. Remaining images uploaded due to oversight. Now, all images are in one link Olea ! Also try Lauraceae for the attached images.
How about Litchi? I don’t think so The leaves appear to be pinnately compound. It reminds me rather of Engelhardia [Juglandaceae]. It is not. Well, I have seen Engelhardia spicata with leaves similar to the ones you have posted. The leaves of this tree are known to exhibit a wide range of conspecific variations. The variation is not limited to the shape alone, the leaves can be paripinnate as well as imparipinnate.
But I do reserve the right to be wrong and it may well be something else!
You may be right. But the person who planted the tree is not sure about the ID. I am trying to locate the source and let you know the outcome. Osmanthus fragrans? Just a guess. Bingo ! Thank you … and the person providing the seedling also confirmed this. . References:
