Species with distribution in annotated checklist of Flowering plants of Nepal : Euphorbiaceae fortnight :: Trevia OR Trewia :: orthographic variance :: DV70 : 7 posts by 3 authors. Trevia OR Trewia ... post dated 29 DEC 12 ... Tree ID request - RK75 - 29-Dec-2012 is very interesting.
... The present code (McNeill et al., ... ... 2006: art. 13.4) gives priority to the original spelling given in Species Plantarum (1753) and therefore 'Trevia' should be used ... Malesian Euphorbiaceae Descriptions. That is true but here is another shock from The Plant List It lists Trevia nudiflora L., Sp. Pl. 2: 1193 1193 1753 as accepted name with all other 7 entries (there are only 8 entries under Trevia), based on TROPICOS which lists 14 synonyms including Mallotus nudiflorus (L.) Kulju & Welzen It also lists Trewia with several names all synonyms. Interesting that it lists Trewia nudiflora L., Sp. Pl. 2: 1193 1193 1753 (obviously the same species as Trevia nudiflora as synonym of Mallotus nudiflorus (L.) Kulju & Welzen GRIN does not list Trevia but also considers Trewia nudiflora L. as synonym of Mallotus nudiflorus (L.) Kulju & Welzen |

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 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.
