Looking in the ATP database for Ceropegia candelabrum var. biflora...not there.

The Plant List:
Ceropegia candelabrum
C. candelabrum var. tuberosa
C. candelabrum subsp. tuberosa
C. candelabrum var. biflora
The Plant List tells me this is all one plant but it's dated 2012.

Is this one plant or two? Should there be one entry in the database or two?

Catalogue of life tells enough to confuse me...on the first try the word "biflora" is not listed.
Ceropegia candelabrum accepted name
with Infraspecific taxon:
C. candelabrum subsp. candelabrum
C. candelabrum subsp. tuberosa

By searching Catalogue of LIfe for simply "Ceropegia biflora" the answer comes up:
Species - C. biflora synonym for C. candelabrum subsp. tuberosa
Infraspecific taxon - C. candelabrum var. biflora synonym for C. candelabrum subsp. tuberosa

Sorry but my eyes crossed and my brain went dead trying to figure this out. *Blush* One word that confuses me is "infraspecific".

Is this all one plant? or two?
Thank You! I need a nap... Rolling on the floor laughing
