Looks like Alseodaphne semicarpifolia<\/i>, Lauraceae<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

It will be Holigarna ferruginea<\/i> (Anacardiaceae<\/i>)<\/p>\n

\n

Holigarna ferruginea<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

I don’t think it is likely to be Holigarna ferruginea<\/i> because the fruits should be rusty tomentose and the leaves should have 12 – 16 pairs of nerves.
\nIn efi … has posted some pictures of the Alseodaphne<\/i> which seem to match here.<\/p>\n

\n

It appears to be Alseodaphne semicarifolia<\/i> of Lauraceae<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

Agree With\u00a0… and … <\/span>Alseodaphne\u00a0semecarpifolia<\/i> Nees

Seems to be Alseodaphne semicarpifolia<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

The protologue gives the spelling as “semecarpifolia<\/i>“.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you very much … for the information. It is helpful.
\nWill soon correct my notes at flickr.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

The flowers look very much similar to Cinnamomum tamala.<\/i>
\nNo doubt as both belong to Lauraceae<\/i><\/p>\n

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

you are right about the flowers’ resemblance, being Lauraceae<\/i>
\ni had worried about the leaves veins, finally I decided it was not tamala.. veins are different<\/p>\n
