Many thanks HS for this query.
It is Neuracanthus tetragonostachyus subsp. trinervius (Wight) Bidgood [unresolved] ... synonym: Neuracanthus trinervius Wight ... as put at The Plants List.

Preferred to put Neuracanthus trinervius Wight because we are yet familiar with this name rather than the unresolved name.

Neuracanthus tetragonostachyus subsp. trinervius (Wight) Bidgood is an unresolved species name according to "the plant list" but has listed 

Neuracanthus trinervius as a synonym of this species.

Giby

in which they revised the whole genus. Simply because The Plant List have not been able to resolve it (not rejected it) it is logical that we follow the combination 

Neuracanthus tetragonostachyus Nees subsp. trinervius ( Wight ) Bidgood & Brummitt

Here is small summary from the revision

The genus Neuracanthus is divided into 3 sections; 30 species are recognised, with a further 5
