The original spelling is 'Trevia' which has to be followed. Trevia nudiflora is recently transferred to Mallotus based on molecular studies and is now called Mallotus nudiflorus. For this purpose, in order to avoid a massive nomenclatural landslide, the name Mallotus has been conserved against Trevia. However, me and Dr. Balakrishnan still consider that Trevia should be treated as a separate genus. An important morphological feature that separates Trevia from Mallotus is that the anthers of the former have no connective separating the anther thecae. Further the ovary and fruits of Mallotus are muricate or often echinate whereas the fruits of Trevia are smooth.
Therefore we will stick to our treatment as given in Fl. India 23: 168. 2012.
