Thanks, Garg ji. It is possible that POWO does not accept OR may be it is yet to update.

The author of this taxon, Bedigian , himself has insisted on incorporating the taxon into iNaturalist database, and has suggested the ID in many of my observations; for one such instance - Sesamum indicum subsp. malabaricum (Burm.) Bedigian, for your reference where he has quoted his white papers ...

1. Bedigian D. (2014) A new combination for the Indian progenitor of sesame, Sesamum indicum (Pedaliaceae). Novon 23 : 5–13.
   
2. Bedigian D. (2015) Systematics and evolution in Sesamum L. (Pedaliaceae), part 1 : Evidence regarding the origin of sesame and its closest relatives. Webbia 70 : 1–42.
3. Gormley, I.C., D. Bedigian, R.G. Olmstead. 2015. Phylogeny of Pedaliaceae and Martyniaceae and the placement of Trapella in Plantaginaceae. Systematic Botany 40: 259-268.

I find no reason for POWO to accept this, although I think it is mentioned in their references.

Garg ji, I understand the discussion.

As a plain naturalist, I cannot disagree with a taxon author at iNaturalist.

Adding this post to eFI database at species level, will be self-explanatory,

Regards.

If you persue observations and photographs at https://efloraofindia.com/2011/03/29/sesamum-indicum/, you will find it impossible to differentiate such images from other images.
