The immature fruits of this shrub make identification difficult unless one is familiar with the genus/species concerned. I would therefore say better to WAIT until images of mature fruits and/ideally, flowers are available.
However, may be worth mentioning that 3 species of Psychotria (of Rubiaceae family) are listed in Enumeration of Flowering Plants of Nepal: P.calocarpa, P.denticulata & P.erratica. The first is based on a record by Hooker but no location nor specimen has been found at Kew! P.denticulata is based upon a Wallich specimen from 1821! Whereas P.erratica is only known from 300-700m in Nepal. So these seem improbable. As for Viburnum cylindricum (which I have recently posted about within my comments on supposed Sino-Japanese flora in Pakistan), I cannot judge the young fruits as matching a Viburnum. Difficult to say. This species is known from what was Kumaon to NEFA, India, Sri Lanka, Myanamar, W.China etc. In Nepal it is recorded from 1200-2500m - so this fits altitudinally and distribution-wise. Also, Flowers of the Himalaya says this shrub or small tree is common at village level in Nepal, so that fits. There is, helpfully, a shot of the underside of a leaf (I REGULARLY URGE PHOTOGRAPHERS TO TAKE SUCH SHOTS). *Unfortunately, the image does NOT fit with the description of the underside of the leaf of V.cylindricum in Bhutan & Sikkim i.e. gland-dotted with tufts of hair, so I conclude it is UNLIKELY to prove to be this but the answer is to get good images of the plant in flower (first choice) or mature fruits, so that a genus can be worked out.* On Saturday, November 5, 2016 at 6:13:59 PM UTC, Saroj Kumar Kasaju wrote: > Dear Members, > > Sharing some pictures for ID shot at Tarakeshwor, Nepal on 27 August 2016 > at 6000 ft. > > Thank you. > > Saroj Kasaju > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
