Thank you Garg ji for pointing out this species - I was not aware of it. Saroj's images here <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/28wkEG-BuIY> seem to agree perfectly with the description of flowers of Ligustrum compactum at Flora of China <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200017792> : *Corolla 3.5-5 mm; tube ca. as long as lobes. Stamens reaching apex of corolla lobes...* In Saroj's images the stamens are really reaching the tip of the petals, and the petals are about as long as the flower-tube. In the flowers of the species under discussion on FOI (which I determined as Ligustrum confusum) the petals are shorter than the flower-tube, and the stamens appear to be shorter than the petals.
