Thank you very much. Here is an extract from Flora of India Volume 23. I hope that these points will be helpful is getting the answer of your query. We have maintained the name Trevia nudiflora here. If you so wish, there is no harm in calling it a Mallotus.
*10. Trevia* L. Monotypic, from India to China and Indonesia. *Note*. Based on molecular studies, Kulju, Sierra & Welzen (Blumea 52: 124. 2007) merge this genus with *Mallotus*. The generic name *Trevia* L. (1753) has priority over *Mallotus* Lour. (1790). Kulju & Welzen (Taxon 57: 1358. 2008), has made a formal proposal for conservation of the generic name *Mallotus *against *Trevia* and it is still pending a decision. The original spelling used by Linnaeus (Sp. Pl. ed. 1, 2: 1193. 1753) is ‘ *Trevia’*, but later he inconsistently used both ‘*Trevia’ *and ‘*Trewia’**. * All subsequent authors have adopted the spelling* ‘Trewia**’**. *However, Art. 13.4 of the present Code (2006) gives protection to the original spelling given in *Species Plantarum*, ed. 1 (1753) and therefore ‘*Trevia’ *cannot be altered. *Literature*.
