Looks different from species available as per comparative images at Euonymus<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
Also looks different from Euonymus grandiflorus<\/em> Wall. as per GBIF<\/span><\/a> and from Euonymus laxiflorus<\/em> Champ. ex Benth. (Syn. Euonymus forbesianus<\/em> Loes.) as per GBIF<\/span><\/a>

I checked with all the species listed in the Checklist of Nepal<\/span><\/a>.<\/div>\n

Always better to try with GBIF rather than unreliable images on the net.<\/p>\n

\n

OK …! I did that too\ud83d\ude01!<\/p>\n

\n
\n

I feel it looks different from Euonymus vagans<\/em> Wall.. efloraNepal says Evergreen shrubs or ascending subshrubs, to 3 m tal,
\nbut actually it was a tree taller than the description. And the leaf pattern also looks different from the images in GBIF.

Looks matching but still some confusion regarding the type of the plant, tree or climber?
\nMy image of the tree trunk looks quite thick.

This should be\u00a0Euonymus theifolius\u00a0<\/i>as per keys\u00a0in\u00a0Researchgate<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0GBIF<\/a>\u00a0specimens (one<\/a>,\u00a0two<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0three<\/a>).<\/p>\n

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

Still there is some confusion regarding \u00a0the habit as this was a medium size tree with quite thick trunk
\nbut description says ” efloranepal – Evergreen shrubs or ascending subshrubs, 2-3 m tall” and ” Tapas da article- Evergreen shrubs, 2-3 m high, often climbing by adventitious roots”<\/p>\n
