Yes Rajuji,

You have rightly identified this plant as Chloranthus erectus (Buch.-
Ham.) Verdc. It is commonly found in NE India.

Pl have a look on the key provided by Fl. China

1a. Flowers yellowish green; leaves 5-11 × 2.5-5.5 cm, apex acute or
obtuse, margin crenate-serrate; central connective 3-
toothed.............Chloranthus spicatus

1b. Flowers white; leaves 10-20 × 4-8 cm, apex gradually narrowed to
caudate, margin glandular serrate; central lobe of connective
entire.....Chloranthus erectus

Moreover, please check for the portion of inflorescence (Fig. 145: 2 &
7) in the following link

http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=1419&flora_id=2

Further, Fl China and Tropicos have not reported C. spicatus from
India.

I think C. erectus is matching completely with your plant.

Best regards,
Ritesh.
