Dear friends, While attempting to compile names and synonyms of *Gnaphalium polycaulon* Pers., I found at Flora of Pakistan <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200023995> that* Gnaphalium indicum* *auct. non L.* is synonym of *Gnaphalium polycaulon* Pers. It is found in a few other places also.
Thus got curious to know about *Gnaphalium indicum* L. - *Gnaphalium indicum* L. is synonym of *Helichrysum indicum* (L.) Grierson ... POWO <https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:212880-1> *|* GBIF <https://www.gbif.org/species/3131847> - Global distribution of *Gnaphalium indicum* L. is confusing; POWO <https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:212880-1> shows no distribution in the Indian subcontinent, while GBIF <https://www.gbif.org/species/3131847> does. Please let me know whether we have *Gnaphalium indicum* L.distributed in India. In case, it is not distributed, 1. There are many sites / articles listing *Gnaphalium indicum* L. ... are those to be considered as * Gnaphalium indicum* auct. non L.? 2. There are many other sites / articles listing just *Gnaphalium indicum* (author not specified) ... are those to be considered as *Gnaphalium indicum auct. non L.**OR* *Gnaphalium indicum* *Thwaites* - synonym of *Anaphalis subdecurrens* Gamble, whose common name too is Indian cudweed is shared with that of *Gnaphalium indicum* Answers to my queries in red will help me proceed with compiling names of *Gnaphalium polycaulon* Pers.
