Hi, Lalithamba ji, There appears to be some nomenclature issue here. It should be *Tecticornia indica *subsp. *indica* (syn. *Arthrocnemum indicum* (Willd.) Moq.; *Salicornia indica* Willd.) as per POWO <http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77086682-1#children> and Catalogue of Life <https://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/86e7ed5e215b0c66e7b3426317a4ab49/synonym/9d0f3c5a42cf3b0575781e6061d822e9> . *Arthrocnemum indicum* Thw. syn. of *Salicornia brachiata *Roxb. <https://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/8590f5cbd0d5682a35fe68626820b649> looks different as per POWO <http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:166497-1> .
