Beautiful photographs. I spotted a lone fruit on a bush and here it is.

Aromatic leafs. Planted-ornamental. Please check for Chamelaucium species. This is a suggestion not confirmation. Prinsepia utilis of Rosaceae? thank you all

Nepali Names: ढटेलो Dhatelo / भेकाली Bhekaalee / कुकुर पाइले Kukur Paaile Fruits ! Same location on 8 April 2014! Attachments (1) Yes fruits are typical. This reminds me of when I first saw this image nearly 45 years back on Wealth of India, where it was mixed up with Prunus cornuta. Luckily I had Royle's Book with me and found that both species were on same page with cross legend, which editors of Wealth of India could not detect, and they just saw the names under each image to get confused. I wrote to them for correction, and had to write second time the reason for their confusion.

Prinsepia utilis Royle : 13 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (3)- 1 or 2 mb each. Location : Chandragiri Hills, Kathmandu, Nepal Elevation : 1738 m. Habit : Wild Date : 12 December 2018 Why so much variation in flowering period ? Thanks, ..., What is the variation? efn says flowering season Apr-May. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=200011155https://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Himalayan%20Cherry%20Prinsepia.html But observation in efi site at Prinsepia utilis matches with your post. Thank you ...! Enclosing a link saying different blooming period. Propagation techniques of Prinsepia utilis Royle - IARJSEThttps://iarjset.com/upload/2015/october-15/IARJSET%2019.pdf As Prinsepia utilis is distributed from about 1000metres to 2600 metres altitude. So the flowering time shows variation with increasing altitude. I have also seen this plant flowering in January at about 950metres altitude, however in P.utilis normally flowering time is from March to May. Along with altitude other factors including plant aspect, local climatic conditions and sunlight availability etc also plays important role in determining flowering time. The plants growing in drier and sunny locations shows early flowering than the plant growing in moister and shady locations at same altitude. As you have observed plant at 1700metres altitude so other microclimatic factors may be the reason for this. Thank you ... I have also enclosed 2 links stating different flowering seasonality.
