Dear Neil ji, Interesting! I couldn't find *Actinodaphne gullavara* in both "the plant list" or "GRIN" There are 3 different *Actinodaphne angustifolia *listed in the plant list @ http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/search?q=actinodaphne First one is *Actinodaphne angustifolia* Nees is an accepted name with *Laurus gullavara* Buch.-Ham. ex Nees as a synonym ( but not *A. gullavara).* Second one is *Actinodaphne angustifolia* Benth. listed here as illegitimate and unresolved The third one is *Actinodaphne angustifolia* Hook.f. & Thomson ex Meisn. as a synonym of *Actinodaphne hookeri* Meisn. Further, in GRIN *A. hookeri* is listed as a synonym of *A. angustifolia.* Now it is getting confused. I feel that the leaves of the plant in this thread and the pictures in the link provided by Neilji looks little different. Unless we handle the specimen it would be hard to conclude, I think.
