botanical names: Gnaphalium polycaulon Pers. ... heterotypic synonyms: Gnaphalium gracillimum Perr. ex DC. • Gnaphalium multicaule Willd. • Gnaphalium strictum Roxb. ... and more at POWO
NOTES:
  • Gnaphalium indicum auct. non L. is synonym of Gnaphalium polycaulon Pers. ... Botanical Survey of India
  • Gnaphalium indicum L. is synonym of Helichrysum indicum (L.) Grierson ... POWO | GBIF
  • Global distribution of Gnaphalium indicum L. is confusing; POWO shows no distribution in the Indian subcontinent, while GBIF does
  • Gnaphalium indicum L. nor Helichrysum indicum (L.) Grierson are not listed in Botanical Survey of India
Many thanks to J M Garg (efloraofindia) for sorting my confusion, and helping me reach following conclusion:
* Common names mentioned in online / offline resources
(1) for Gnaphalium indicum L. will be considered for Gnaphalium indicum auct. non L.
(2) for Gnaphalium indicum (with no author citation) will be considered as shared for both the distinct species: Gnaphalium indicum auct. non L. - synonym of Gnaphalium polycaulon Pers. as well as Gnaphalium indicum Thwaites - synonym of Anaphalis subdecurrens Gamble
