Shrub about 2-4 m tall. Branches dark brown and glabrescent. Leaves lanceolate, linear-oblong, 2-4 x 0.5-1 cm across, glabrous above, beneath pubescent or glabrous, cuneate at the base, margin entire, apex acuminate, lateral veins 5-10 on either side of the midvein, petiole about 0.3-0.4 cm long. Flowers axillary, peduncle 1-3 cm, bracts linear or linear-lanceolate, foliaceous, bracteoles connate, often half the length of the fruit, Calyx limb distinctly 5-toothed, lobes orbicular, quarter as long as the tube, glabrous or pubescent, subequal, whitish-blue or pink colored. Style short glabrous, fruit usually in a pair of confluent drupes 0.7 cm in diameter, globose, red. Seeds few.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Seeds dispersed by barochory i.e., gravitational dispersal, endozoochory i.e., dispersal by birds and animals internally, epizoochory i.e., dispersal by animals externally, and anthropochory i.e., dispersal by humans.<\/span><\/div>\n
Susceptible to insect pests.<\/span><\/div>\n

Shrub for id from Chakrata:: NS June 29<\/a> : 7 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (4).<\/div>\n
\n
This unarmed shrub<\/span>, with pinkish buds and white flowers <\/span>was recorded from Chakrata area in Uttrakhand<\/span>, this is fairly common in the area..
\n<\/span>Please help to conclude id..<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

I think Daphne mucronata<\/i><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Thanks Sir, I was also considering this a species of Daphne..<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

The ID may need reconsideration as it has paired flowers, a feature of Caprifoliaceae<\/i>. It may be in Lonicera<\/i> genus. More recently actinomorphic flowered Lonicera<\/i> are separated as Devendraea<\/i> by Pusalkar (2011).<\/p>\n

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

It can be Lonicera angustifolia-<\/i> fuits bare rounded red, edible sweet in taste<\/span>.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Thanks …, your considerations are right, even the species level id given by … is quite convincing.. though I could not observe any berries in the field..<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Thanks a lot … for giving correct ID. It surely is Lonicera<\/i> (angustifolia<\/i> perhaps) with its half fused ovaries and paired flowers.
\nThanks again. Thanks … for finding this species.<\/p>\n

Nice upload. Beautiful Lonicera<\/i> with narrow leaves.
\nAll Lonicera<\/i><\/b> with actinomorphic flowers are now placed in a newly carved (carved from Lonicera<\/i><\/b> s.l.) genus Devendraea<\/i><\/b> Pusalkar.
\nIt is now D. angustifolia<\/i><\/b> (Wall. ex DC.) Pusalkar
\nPlease compare with:
\nD.angustifolia in eFI.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Thank you, … for the new information to me. I was not aware of this fact that L. angustifolia<\/i> is now Devendraea <\/i><\/b>angustifolia<\/i><\/b>.
\nI usually check at “The Plant List” where L.angustifolia is an accepted name.
\nThe uploads by … appears slightly different in leaf morphology.
\nSo, I’ll upload my all Lonicera<\/i> types one by one for more clarification to me. I am a newcomer in Plant Taxonomy.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you, … I have seen both these plants. They look quite different from each others. It means, high degree of variation occurs in L. angustifolia.
\n<\/i>I’ll try to post comparative photographs of both some day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The flowers have no aroma and I have found only one shrub so far. Is it uncommon at this elevation?<\/div>\n

I think, it should be Lonicera angustifolia<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Thank you … Do you remember if the flowers had any aroma? The flowers on our plant had no discernible aroma.
\nShould we consider this now as <\/span>Davendraea angustifolia<\/i> or <\/span>Lonicera angustifolia<\/i>?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
