This plant was sold to me on as a OCEAN. I have my doubts that it is Ocean. Can anyone please tell me what you think. I do not want to misrepresent any plants I sell or give away.
@plantladylin maybe you can help me.

'Ocean' is a hybrid with broader leaves than the standard Chlorophytum, which is what I think you have. In addition, 'Ocean' leaves are all green in the center with the white stripes on the margins of the leaves.

LOL, all Chlorophytums (Chlorophytum) look the same to me and I'm not at all familiar with all the different cultivars on the market. I looked through the database and a couple that look similar are below but as I said, they all look so much alike to me. Green Grin!

I have collected these plants for years and in my collection I feel sure the plant I have is either a
Chlorophytum comosum 'White Lightning' or Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum'). Putting them side by side I am noticing the White Lightning seems to have a thinner leaf. I am 91 years old now and just am not sure. I do not want to give these away or sell them with the wrong ID on them. What do you suggest?
