Location: Sundarijal, Shivapuri National Park

Elevation: 1700m.
Habitat: Wild
Seems closer to Symplocaceae.
Tried all species of Symplocos but could not get the match ! 
Santalaceae? Helicia?
Sorry ... Could not get the match !
A member of Loranthaceae
Possibly a species of Macrosolen
Only one Macrosolen is found listed in Which does not match with the 
description and any Macrosolen image in the net !
I think … may talking of another post of yours on Loranthaceae
I am talking about this image. … you are right, it does not match with any species. It might be turn out to be something new. I have also seen this specimen in Arunachal. I don't have a specimen though. You should collect a specimen if you can. 
Thank you ... I shall do that.
Could you please advise the ID ?
Like I said earlier, its a member of Loranthaceae and probably Macrosolen. 
OK ! That means other than listed in Nepal ? Was it identified Arunachal species?
Yes, it is Loranthaceae only, I too agree with ...
I was looking under the wrong genus.
Its matching well with Helixanthera odorata. It is reported from Nepal.
