Kindly note that the leaves are strongly 3-plinerved at base ruling out Actinodaphne as well as Litsea. The primary venation pattern of the leaves and their pseudo-verticillate arrangement together with umbellate infructescences are among important generic characters of Neolitsea. The species is N. cuipala which is abundant in Uttarakhand. Thanks and regards.
