Looks different from images at Actinodaphne sikkimensis<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
May be some Neolitsea<\/i><\/span><\/a>\/ <\/i>Litsea<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0species as per comparative images herein.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Does not look matching with both sp. and all listed in ACFPN whichever images available in the net.<\/div>\n
Fruits are in a bunch of more than 10, all facing upwards and tapering at the end and almost pointed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Images are not of Actinodaphne sikkimensis<\/i>, It is Litsea<\/i> species. Flowers are lacking but very near to\u00a0Litsea chartacea<\/i> (Wall. ex Nees) Hook.f.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Thank you …, Yes it matches I guess. Measurement of drupe is also matching.
\nL. chartacea<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

I feel it can be\u00a0Litsea doshia<\/em>\u00a0(D.Don) Kosterm. as per\u00a0POWO<\/a>\u00a0specimen<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0GBIF<\/a>\u00a0specimens-\u00a0one<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0two<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Online Flora of Nepal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nHope ID is correct.<\/p>\n

\n

Is it from the same place:\u00a0Godawari, Lalitpur,, Nepal?<\/p>\n

\n

Same tree.<\/p>\n

\n

So ID is OK according to flowers ?<\/p>\n

\n

I think so.<\/p>\n

Litsea chartacea<\/p>\n

\n
Thank you … for the correction.<\/div>\n
Dear …: It needs to be corrected in the site, and https:\/\/groups.google.com\/indiantreepix\/VJI<\/a> as well.<\/div>\n
Dear …: Please ignore the Nepali Names I have sent earlier. There is no Nepali Name<\/div>\n
for this sp. so far.<\/p>\n
\n

We have kept it at
\nhttps:\/\/efloraofindia.com\/2022\/11\/12\/litsea-doshia\/<\/a>
\nIs this id not correct?<\/p>\n

\n

I think the images in the link provided by you represent\u00a0<\/em>Litsea chartacea<\/em>(Wall. ex Nees) Hook.f. because here the flowering and fruiting umbels are clustered on branches\u00a0and leaf axils (may be on short brachyblasts) unlike\u00a0Litsea doshia\u00a0<\/i>in which the umbels are borne on special short branches simulating racemes.<\/p>\n

\n
May I request you to pl. go through\u00a0POWO<\/a>\u00a0specimen<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0GBIF<\/a>\u00a0specimens-\u00a0one<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0two<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Litsea doshia<\/i><\/div>\n
Pl. see the fruits and their attachments to the stems. and also the back side of the leaf.<\/div>\n
These appear to be more closer to the posted plant.<\/div>\n
Look different from\u00a0Litsea chartacea\u00a0<\/em>(Wall. ex Nees) Hook.f. as per\u00a0GBIF<\/a>\u00a0specimens (one<\/a>,\u00a0two<\/a>).<\/p>\n
\n

So far as my knowledge goes, Litsea doshia<\/em> is characterized by the umbels borne on short branches looking like a raceme whereas the umbels in L. chartacea<\/em> are clustered on main branchlets and in the axils of the leaves.<\/p>\n

\n

But it looks different than stated by you as per\u00a0POWO<\/a>\u00a0specimen<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0GBIF<\/a>\u00a0specimens-\u00a0one<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0two<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Litsea doshia<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

\n

I am unable to clarify any further with my limited knowledge on Litsea.

Here is the image of the holotype of\u00a0Litsea doshia\u00a0<\/i>in which the umbels arranged on short racemes can be noticed.

I think you are right although I do not have detailed knowledge in Litsea.<\/em> So I remained silent.<\/p>\n

\n

Publication on Indian Litsea<\/em> is overdue.<\/p>\n
