This is becoming complicated at the same time interesting.
>From BSI Flora Mah I know that following sp. exist from Achyranthes.
1. Infl. of terminal spikes, simple or branched.Flowers greeninsh-white
... A.aspera
1. Infl. first erect, later patent,finally deflexed and appressed to rachis;
flowers rosy or purplish ... ... ... ... ... A.coynei
Now A.aspera has two var5ieties
2. Leaves thick, velvetty tomentose or silky rachis stout. ... ...
var.aspera
2. Leaves membranous, glabrous or sparsely pubescent;
rachis slender ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
... ... ...var.porphyristachya.
there is no mention of var.indica.
What I am calling A.aspera var.aspera is close to your A.aspera var. indica.
My understanding may be wrong.....?
