Interesting find, Gurcharan ji! There's a 2012 paper reporting *Sanguisorba minor* from India as a new report, although without mentioning a subspecies name. https://taiwania.ntu.edu.tw/pdf/tai.2012.57.410.pdf
As per the protologue (https://rjb.revistas.csic.es/index.php/rjb/article/view/228/224), the two subspecies can be distinguished by the following key (Google translate from Spanish text): * Plants with urnules with wingless ribs or with narrow and fine wings, with more or less reticulated faces or sometimes with some short teeth -- subsp. *minor* ** Plants with the always winged urnules -large wings, sometimes very wide, with entire margin to more or less erous- and faces covered with acute ridges -- subsp. *balearica *(S. minor subsp. muricata Briq., nom. illeg.)
