Is Setaria viridis var. major different taxon from Setaria viridis or is it a synonym (as listed in EASIN)?

Setaria viridis is considered to be somewhat polymorphic, in fact 6 varieties have been described, including Setaria viridis var. major Gray. According to some authors, however, Setaria viridis var. major Gray is to be considered a synonym of Setaria viridis (L.) P.Beauv. (cf. Can. J. Plant sci. (1985) 65: 669-690; Plant Syst Evol (2015) 301:725–736). In my opionion I would suggest to consider S. viridis var major included in S. viridis s.l.
