SHRUB ID—–20th December 2011—–S.S.—-065—-Richenpong. SIKKIM:<\/font><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>Please can someone id this shrub\/tree with interesting red , brown young leaves.<\/font><\/div>\n

Taken on 3rd April 2011@ 10.00 in the morning.<\/div>\n
Near Mandarin village. RINCHENPONG. SIKKIM.<\/font><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Looks like Mesua ferrea<\/em> to me.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
I do not know this plant like thousands other. Never heard of Mesua<\/i> also. Please take a relook.<\/div>\n
This tree or shrub seems to have alternate leaves, in Mesua<\/i> leaves are opposite (according to FoC<\/font><\/a>).<\/div>\n
Moreover, pic no. “065 03-04-2011 10-06-53.JPG” shows dentate margin.<\/span><\/div>\n
Any chance of <\/span>Agapetes acuminata<\/i> (Wall.) D.Don ex G.Don<\/font><\/a>?<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This cannot be Agapetes<\/i> for leaves have to be sprially arranged in Agapetes<\/i><\/font><\/a>.<\/div>\n
Leaves = short petiole + alternate + serrate + lanceolate + acuminate in Sikkim or Himalaya gives so many plants!<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
This is possibly a Lauraceae<\/em> member<\/font>, like – http:\/\/aromatherapyliving.com\/ocotea_essential_oil.html<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n
