Your are right Saroj! It was supposed to be Oenanthe javanica subsp. linearis, whose accepted name is Oenanthe linearis Wall. Corrected now:

On searching, I found there is a lot of confusion in this genus.

Oenanthe linearis Wall. images on net looks different from FOI as per

http://www.iflora.cn/picture/IF/55(2)-205.jpg

https://www.flickr.com/photos/plj/33354961462

GBIF (high resolution specimens) has considered as Oenanthe dielsii Boiss. as a syn. of Oenanthe linearis subsp. linearis, which which Catalogue of Life considers as an independent species.

Oenanthe linearis Wall. images on net also looks similar to those on FOI as per

Flora of China (does not include Oenanthe dielsii Boiss.) gives keys of five species, out of which Oenanthe benghalensis (Roxb.) Kurz (ambiguous synonym) is considered as synonyms as per Catalogue of Life of Oenanthe javanica (Bl.) DC.
