Flora of Chakrata 2013:: Small tree for id<\/a> : Attachments (7). 8 posts by 3 authors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
This small tree was shot during recent visit to Chakrata area,<\/span><\/div>\n
flowers minute, creamish white, borne in compound umbellate cymes, corolla tubular, stamens protruding,<\/span> fruits could not be seen..
\nEarlier recorded <\/span>from Gori Valley area,<\/span> attaching pics from that area too.. Id help requested..<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

MAY BE <\/span>SWIDA OBLONGA.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Many thanks …\u00a0for this long pending id.. yes this is Caprifoliaceae<\/i>… can be Viburnum coriaceum..<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Keys in Osmaston (1927) also suggest it as <\/span>Viburnum coriaceum<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

efi page on <\/span>Psychotria truncata<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I am afraid it does not look like matching with any of the <\/span>Psychotria<\/i> recorded in Nepal. I found the leaves are very <\/span>different and the altitude also not tallying.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I think it is a species of <\/span>Viburnum<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Is it <\/span>Viburnum cylindricum<\/span>\u00a0<\/i>Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don (accepted name<\/span>) ??<\/span><\/span><\/span>http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=200022434<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
The immature fruits of this shrub make identification difficult unless one is familiar with the genus\/species concerned.\u00a0 I would therefore say better to WAIT until images of mature fruits and\/ ideally, flowers are available.<\/div>\n
However, may be worth mentioning that 3 species of Psychotria<\/i> (of Rubiaceae family) are listed in Enumeration of Flowering Plants of Nepal: P.calocarpa, P.denticulata <\/i>& P.erratica<\/i>.\u00a0 The first is based on a record by Hooker but no location nor specimen has been found at Kew!\u00a0 P.denticulata<\/i> is based upon a Wallich specimen from 1821!\u00a0 Whereas P.erratica<\/i> is only known from 300-700m in Nepal.\u00a0 So these seem improbable.<\/div>\n
As for Viburnum cylindricum<\/i> (which I have recently posted about within my comments on supposed Sino-Japanese flora in Pakistan), I cannot judge the young fruits as matching a Viburnum<\/i>.\u00a0 Difficult to say.\u00a0 This species is known from what was Kumaon to NEFA, India, Sri Lanka, Myanamar, W.China etc.\u00a0 In Nepal it is recorded from 1200-2500m – so this fits altitudinally and distribution-wise.\u00a0\u00a0 Also, Flowers of the Himalaya says this shrub or small tree is common at village level<\/span> in Nepal, so that fits.<\/span>
\nThere is, helpfully, a shot of the underside of a leaf (I REGULARLY URGE PHOTOGRAPHERS TO TAKE SUCH SHOTS).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Unfortunately, the image does NOT fit with the description of the underside of the leaf of V.cylindricum<\/i> in Bhutan & Sikkim i.e. gland-dotted with tufts of hair,<\/span> so I conclude it is UNLIKELY to prove to be this but the answer is to get good images of the plant in flower (first choice) or mature fruits, so that a genus can be worked out.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Pl. check with images of <\/span>Viburnum punctatum<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0& other threads herein as per comparative images at\u00a0<\/span>Viburnum<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I have taken a small amount of interest in Viburnums in Nepal in the past, finding it NOT any easy genus identification-wise – especially at the fruiting stage.<\/div>\n
The photos show only IMMATURE fruits which make it even harder.<\/div>\n
Yes, it MIGHT be V.punctatum<\/i> (which is very much a lower-altitude species) recorded in Nepal to 1600m only.<\/div>\n
It is included in ‘Flora of Kathmandu\u00a0Valley’ but cannot express total confidence in this.<\/div>\n
Their key says Cymes Corymbose, leaves glabrous, punctate, scaly on lower surface.<\/div>\n
Personally, EVEN if a member of this group is sufficiently familiar with this genus to CONFIRM that it is this species, I do not think the images will help much in recognising it future.
\n<\/span>I would leave it as Viburnum<\/i> sp. perhaps V.punctatum<\/i>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Keeping in mind the altitude, fruiting season and leaf texture (as compared in the google image) it guess it is more close to\u00a0Viburnum cylindricum<\/span>\u00a0<\/i>Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
