I think you are right Gurcharan ji. As you mentioned, it is unclear if it has to be treated at variety level (ref. many databases), specific level (TPL) or as synonym under C. argentea (s.l.). But I support giving it (and other taxa such as plumosa and cristata) a status (preferably at varietal level) instead clubbing all under C. argentea, in order to understand the level of 'distinct' variations/forms.
