Further Flowers of Sahyadri mentions Gomphrena serrata. I think there is some confusion between the two species, them being too close. Flora of North America mentions Gomphrena serrata, with Gomphrena decumbens as a synonym: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=242415703 The following page at Kew also discusses some unresolved mixup between Gomphrena serrata and Gomphrena celosioides http://apps.kew.org/efloras/namedetail.do;jsessionid=E0B27B513DEF7B1A9E154993AFD0ABBC?flora=fz&qry=key&taxon=6645&keyid=1516 Probably the species reported as Gomphrena celosioides and Gomphrena serrata from different parts of India, may actually be the same.
