I think Luculia pinceana Hook. (Rubiaceae)


/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Luculia%20gratissima_SSikkim97%20copy.psd%20ch.jpg
Plenty of this flowering shrubs have been seen in South Sikkim. I tried to get the ID from Stainton & Polunin’s ‘Flowers of the Himalaya’.
Possibly it is Luculia gratissima. Experts may kindly comment.

Kindly request you to identify with scientific names. These photos have been taken in East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya.

It must be a Luculia sp. 


Thanks, …, for the genus id.
I think it is close to images at Luculia pinceana Hook.

This may be Luculia gratissima (Wall.) Sweet as corolla tube appears to be longer as per keys in Flora of China


Yes


On further checking, this is Luculia pinceana only as per keys herein (spathulate calyx).
