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.
