DineshJi, I am also supporting Mr Subir's view in treating them separately. Both are entirely different. Plant list is a provisional one and do not pay much attention to it. You can treat Desmos lawii as a separate species or as a variety under D. chinensis (D. chinensis var lawii) as in Flora of India by Debika Mitra.
