Thanks, Garg ji. It is possible that POWO does not accept OR may be it is yet to update. The author of this taxon, *Bedigian* , himself has insisted on incorporating the taxon into iNaturalist database, and has suggested the ID in many of my observations; for one such instance - *Sesamum indicum* subsp. *malabaricum* <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/90895308> (Burm.) Bedigian, for your reference where he has quoted his white papers ...
