To the best of my memory it was growing wild. Not planted in a garden. I realise the 1st pic is rather odd, making it appear to be floating. The stem must have been hidden by the leaves.

Problems finding my posts. Thank you for all help and advice. I found the View Profile box... but only after searching back until I found my last thread. Putting Plantaholic Sheila in the search box works really well. Thank you Gurcharan. Will use that way in future. Now to try explain to Usha why I had 2 names. When I 1st joined, I used our ordinary e mail and was mortified when it appeared on screen as Howard Sadd and our e mail address as hj.s***@tiscali.co.uk. In Britain and other sites I use, the e mail addresses are ALWAYS hidden to prevent spam etc. It was not rocket science to work out what the *** stood for. So, I set up a new e mail address, just to use here as Plantaholic Sheila e mail luddite1***@tiscali.co.uk. Now the *** are nor guesseable. Being unused to having 2 e mail addresses for the first time in 5 years, I was not used to having to swap them over, and accidentally sent a few threads under the old name. I tried to resign my old name but that didn't work. So humble apologies for the confusion. I am old and a complete techno phobe! I have made a real effort to get it right the past few posts! Hope this explains the 2 names. I think as this is a google site you have no choice in the way it is set up. By the way, I notice that you sometimes put ji after the name. What does this mean please?

Hi Shrikant, I realise my pics are not always adequate and far from ideal. I was a mere tourist seeing Sikkim for the very 1st time. It was a fabulous, incredible 3 week trip, I loved every single minute. A am very keen gardener and plants person. An amateur. I am not and never will be a botanist.

( As well as thousands of the stunning scenery, people, temples, animals etc etc?) I tried my best to get a few pics of each plant to give pointers to id. Sadly time did not allow for a 100% full pictorial record of every plant, to include,a scale for size, bark, buds, flowers, fruits, leaves,including whole specimen to show where it was growing. Nor is my memory accurate enough to say now exactly the dimension of the seed pod. I do remember at the time thinking it was large. I am trying my best to learn. I am delighted to get it id as Lagerstroemia. I guess I will never know whether it is L. speciosa OR L. microcarpa OR L. parviflora.

Thank you so much for your suggestion Ritesh. Hmm!. I have waited in the hope that somone would confirm this. Now I have 2 mystery trees/ shrubs with Maesa as a suggestion. Yet to my eye they look different. Maybe just the height up the mountain where this was found growing, means the flowers are at a different stage of development. 2nd opinion would be most helpful.

Greetings from Britain to you all. Thank you for your amusing stories and pics. Good to see what you look like Pankaj! Usha my wee digital camera goes with me to all the wonderful gardens we visit in Britain.The climate here means we can grow plants from all over the world. Except hot tropical ones! I am learning all the time and love to find plants that I have not seen before. I now have a very extensive picture library, (many taken in our own garden) As well as wild flowers in the hedgerows. I try to get a record of the leaves ,flowers , seeds and any other interesting features through the changing seasons. I am fascinated by the shape of leaves. All pics are labelled with full latin name, and are a terrific aide memoir when I try to help others on other forums to id their plants. ( It has become an addiction!) I love it when a forum has experts and amateurs, such as myself, from all over the world, prepared to help others id a plant. The internet is just AMAZING! I am afraid I completely missed the last 4 posts. Next question... Why? I started by asking for e mail notifications. But my in box was completely flooded with 100's of posts . So I opted out. Now, I seem to be missing replies to my own threads. How can this be sorted? Help reqested yet again. I never have any problems on any other forum... just this one! Sheila.

[efloraofindia:90653] Re: Unknown shrub.
Sorry Giby. I really appreciate all your help and do not wish to appear ungrateful. However, Lasianthus parvifolius is not at all like it. My mystery shrub has 5 petals not 4. I found this pic showing the leaves. http://www.biotik.org/india/species/l/lasiparv/lasiparv_05_en.html It just doesn't come close to my amateur eye. It was a very large shrub. My pic does not show the bulk of the shrub, just a few bottom branches. See my 3rd pic for the base of the mother plant. I thought at the time it might be a shrubby honeysuckle. But the stigma is not right. Of all the unidentified plants from this trip this is THE one I would really love to id. I thought my close up pics showing the detail pretty well would make it so easy! Not so! Any further thoughts anyone?

Thank you hari for your suggestion of Nephrolepis. However, I cannot see any that look like it. Thank you Satish for your suggestiomn of Alsophila. Again I can see nothing like it. If you look at my pics you can see my head in pic 4. The ferns tower above me. But the growth is not with a trunk as tree ferns grow. Each frond is forked and keeps re forking as it get larger.

Thank you so much JM.Garg for bumping my post to the top. Love the new site! I have received an e mail in reply... It is Leycesteria formosa of Caprifoliaceae. It is very common in Neora Velley National Park, may be around Aluabari and upto Jopokhri at the top. PROF. A. P. DAS Thanks, Prof. Das. For which I would like to thank Prof Das. However... Leycestria formosana is a very common shrub in UK. I have never seen it without the bigpuple coloured bracts that come with the flowers and remain on the plant with the berries. Does it do something very different in Nepal? Help experts. Warmest wishes from UK to you all.

I would like to thank you all for the research and help you have given me for trying to id this plant. Thank you J.M. Garg for bumping this to the top for further help from everyone. Special thanks to Prashant for the suggestion of Litsea. Also Jui for the suggestion of Casearia and Xylosma. Also Surajit for the suggestion of Litsea monopetala... and Xylosma. and for taking so much trouble in giving me links for these I have tried to look on www for further help. But am unable to find any image for Litsea monopetala,that match the leathery leaf, with the curved veins (sort of in loops), small petalled flowers on very short stalks directly from the branches, which bear both buds and flowers together. etc. etc http://www.hkwildlife.net/viewthread.php?tid=40623 I believe that Xylosma can be ruled out as it has fruits that are small purple/black berries. *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylosma*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylosma So inspite of all your generous help I still feel that this is unresolved. === On Monday, May 21, 2012 5:32:02 PM UTC+1, surajit koley wrote: Garg Sir, The probability of a Myrtaceae member also occurred to me and i searched a lot on *Syzigium* too!

On the other hand *Litsea* is a dioecious plant. Fruits (041 13-04-2011 17-45-42.jpg) are more like *Michelia champaca*, a Magnoliaceae member. But, i think, this plant in question cannot be a Magnoliaceae! Neither would i go for Myrtaceae, fruits are different and i think almost all flowers and fruits bear pedicel.

First may I thank JMGarg for again so kindly bumping my query to the top for further help. It is most kind of you. Much appreciated. 2nd. Many thanks Ritesh for your suggestion of Pilea. This is a plant that I know well in Britain, but only indoors, as a very small houseplant. The veining does look similar. My pics were of a shrub. Are there woody Pilea? Maybe someone can take it further? Sheila. = On Sunday, July 22, 2012 10:27:07 AM UTC+1, Ritesh Kumar Choudhary wrote: Looks like some Pilea sp. to me. Regards, Ritesh.

[efloraofindia:122455] Re: Unknown shrub.
Hi everyone, On our magical 3 week trip to Sikkim and West Bengal on March 2011, this shrub has stayed in my memory. It was along side the road to Tiger Hill near Ghoom, ( not far from Darjeeling.)which many hundreds of tourists visit every day to watch the sun rise over the Himalayas. There were lots of these shrubs... so very common ... or so I thought. I took more pic of this one shrub than any other, to try and capture as much detail as possible. I thought it would be so very easy to id. I have even sent a letter ( snail mail!) to the Lloyd Botanic garden in Darjeeling with photos, but sadly did not receive a reply. ( I would normally put a stamped addressed envelope with my letter for a reply. But this does not work in foreign countries.) Somone on this learned forum must live near here/ visit here. I have often wondered what the berries are like, what colour they will be. Your help is requested. Thank you for looking. Warmest wishes. Sheila. === On Saturday, October 22, 2011 5:15:24 PM UTC+1, PlantaholicSheila wrote: I hope I am doing this correctly. My first post here! Please can you identify this large rather straggly shrub.
