Euonymus fimbriatus Wall.

Fairly common from 2400-3000 m, generally in shady places. The leaves and the branches are lopped for fodder. The seeds are often used as beads.

This is a common species that can be easily identified by its sharp and double-serrulate leaf margin. The species sometimes combines 4-merous flowers and fruit with 5-merous anatomy. This is a very rare character in the genus.
