Euphorbiaceae fortnight castor OR spurge family *Trevia nudiflora* & *Trevia polycarpa* Dear friends,
Copying the key to four varieties of *Trevia nudiflora* that Dr Tapas Chakrabarty ji quoted in ... Tree ID request - RK75 - 29-Dec-2012<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/WTNrsc7j4ic/Z0UrzWgNOr4J> *Trevia nudiflora* L., Sp. Pl. 1193. 1753; Müll.Arg. in DC., Prodr. 15(2): 953. 1866; Hook.f., Fl. Brit. India 423. 1887.*Mallotus nudiflorus* (L.) Kulju & Welzen, Blumea 52: 124. 2007 1a.Leaves, inflorescences and fruits glabrous2b.Leaves, inflorescences and fruits tomentose or pubescent32a.Fruits 2 - 3.5 cm across, with very thick pericarp1.2. var. *nudiflora*b.Fruits 1 - 1.5 cm across, with very thin pericarp1.3. var. *polycarpa*3a.Branchlets densely flocculent-cottony or woolly-tomentose; leaves entire along margins; fruits 2 - 3 cm across, densely white-cottony tomentose1.4. var. *tomentosa*b.Branchlets softly pubescent; leaves dentate along margins; fruits 1.5 - 1.8 cm across, yellow pubescent1.1. var. *dentata* Going through earlier posts in eFI, of *T. nudiflora* and *T. polycarpa*, with the above keys for varieties of *Trevia*, I am completely convinced that I have *always* been mistaking *Trevia polycarpa* as *Trevia nudiflora*. I would say there are many others too who have mistaken the species. I will be correcting notes at my flickr photostream before end of this fortnight. ------------------------------ Some earlier postings, which I am segregating as *T. nudiflora* and *T. polycarpa* as per my understanding. *Trevia nudiflora*=*Trevia nudiflora* var. *nudiflora**Trevia polycarpa*=*Trevia nudiflora* var. *polycarpa* *Trevia nudiflora* 1. isn't it Trewia nudiflora ? from Hooghly 02-05-12 SK<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/eJFCyYVnbe0/EvaCBf739JQJ> 2. 24072011-BS-001 A tree from Karnal for ID<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/pe0N9TV-N48/dbvy4_0BFtYJ> 3.
