Thanks, Saroj ji. Only one species have distribution in India, Bhutan and Nepal as per this publication Taxonomic revision of the Symplocos nakaharae complex (Symplocaceae) with special reference to fruit morphology <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1759-6831.2012.00223.x> by Bo LIU Hai-Ning QIN- Journal of Systematics and Evolution 51 (1): 94–114 (2013) (*Abstract*- Over 70 species and infra specific taxa have been described in the Symplocos nakaharae (Hayata) Masam. complex (Symplocaceae), and the taxonomy of this complex has been controversial.To provide a rational taxonomic revision of the complex, extensive field observations were carried out and approximately 800 herbarium specimens, covering the whole distribution range, were examined to evaluate the taxonomic importance of morphological characteristics. Our studies recognized 13 species and one subspecies, including S. boninensis, S. henryi, S. kawakamii, S. lucida, S. nakaharae, S. migoi, S. multipes, S. pergracilis, S. setchuensis, S. shilanensis, S. tanakae, S. tetragona, S. theifolia, and S. lucida subsp. howii comb. nov. One new combination is made and two new synonyms, S. ernestii Dunn var. pubicalyx C. Chen syn. nov. and S. kuroki Nagam. syn. nov., are recognized. Two identification keys are provided, based primarily on flower and fruit characters. Detailed morphological descriptions and geographical distribution information of the 14 taxa are given.) with details as below:

Type: China. Yunnan: Jingdong, M. K. Li 1209 (holotype, KUN!); 1963-06-08, Z. H. Yang et al. s.n. (paratype, KUN!). Small evergreen trees or shrubs, to 15 m high. Twigs green, glabrous, ridged. Petioles 6–12(–16) mm long; leaf blades leathery, 8–12×2–3cmlong, glabrous on both sides, base cuneate, margin subentire or serrated, apex long acuminate; midvein adaxially prominent, lateral veins 8–12 per side. Inflorescences simple or basally branched, axillary spikes, 0.8–2.5 cm long, axis puberulent; bracts and bracteoles persistent, broadly obovate, 1–3 mm long, often glabrous. Calyx glabrous or puberulent, margin ciliolate,lobes orbicular. Corolla white, 3–5 mm long, deeply 5-lobed. Stamens 15–50, pentadelphous or inconspicuous pentadelphous. Disc soft pilose. Drupes ellipsoidal, 6–15 × 4–7 mm, apex with erect or spread persistent calyx lobes, 3loculed, 1 or 2 locules often fertile, mesocarp woody, endocarp surface smooth, chartaceous. Distribution and habitat: Bhutan, Cambodia, China (south of the Yangtze River), India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Philippines occurring in mixed forests on slopes below 2600 m. Phenology: Fl. Mar.–May, fr. Jun.–Aug. Note: Symplocos theifolia own has echinate pollen, adding to its chartaceous endocarp and fertile locules (Fig. 2: L, M). It should be easily separated from other species in the complex. Wu (1987) considered it different from S. phyllocalyx mainly because “the stones are not divided into 3 pyrenes and the stamens are not obviously pentadelphous”. We checked many specimens and found that the two characters are not consistent among individuals. Apart from that, the two species are indistinguishable, so they should be conspecific. Symplocos ernestii var. pubicalyx was published based on its pubescence on calyx in Flora Yunnanica (Gao, 2006). However, the pubescence should be carefully considered as an identification character in Symplocaceae (Hardin, 1966). After examination of specimens referred in the original description and other specimens in KUN, we found the pubescence on calyx of S. theifolia is not an effective taxonomic character. In fact, both glabrous and pubescence on calyx were found in the same inflorescence, therefore, no obvious correlation exists between the pubescent calyx and the environment. As a result, it is treated as a new synonym here. So we can use this name for our plants.
