I am assuming it is a C.comosum since it has all the markings of one. But which one is the question. I have compared it with all of my collection and I can not find a match.
If you want to see my collection before you make a determination to save time you can see it on:

The color is a soft green with the greenish/champagne stripes along the side. I thought it may be a 'Silver Surfer' but it is just not as dull green as that, at least I don't think so. The margins are much more champagne and greenish than silver or white.

Thank you in advance. This one has everyone wondering.

Looks like Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum', White Margined Spider Plant.

No, @Metrosideros, if you looked at them side by side you would see the definite difference. It is not one of the popular cultivars for sure. It is completely different if you could only see the greenish/champagne color edging you would see how different the colors are compared to the Variegatum and the Vittatum. Thanks anyhow.

JB. give this site a look. It has some interesting info that may be of use.

I am certain it is not a Siam Lily at this writing. The Chlorophytum Laxum 'Bichetii does not throw off babies. It must be propagated by separating the small bulb like roots. So we can eliminate that.


Thanks @Moonhowl, I will certainly give that link a long look. I printed it out so if something happens to the computer at least I have a hard copy of the site and can go from there. Thanks.

We will keep looking for an answer, so now we know for sure it is a comosum.......I think????

Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum' is the commonest of the white margined cultivars. It is vigorous, broad leaved and tolerant, with a tendancy to be floppy in low light situations. There is a cheerful bright buttery tone to the green, and a yellow tint to the white portion of the leaves. All of the white margined forms have green flower stems.

A positive maybe.... In searching and reading, various sites state that Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum' has a huge number of cultivars and crosses as it is a rather "promiscuous species"

That is my very favorite link...I printed all his information out just so I do not loose any of it if my computer crashes again. He is just wonderful.

He's got a great site, did you look at the Index?

Check out his 'Me' link?

I think we are about convinced since the difference in the Variegatum I have and the new little one is definitely there, but it could be the environment for sure. The plants in the greenhouse that get more sun are all a different coloro than those of the same species in the bird room. Darn, I was hoping I had something new and different and I could report to the person that gave it to me she is one lucky person. Oh well. I will just keep this thread open a few more days and see if anyone comes up with something else.

I not only looked at the index, I printed out the ones I have and the ones I want and that is the basis of my file. I have tried one time to contact him but I did not find an email address. I had a question about one of his comments. I even forget which one it was now. But, I use that information daily. I would love to meet him and just talk about spiders. I love the way he describes them.

Look at the bottom of the Home page, he has put MONKEY where there should be @ so he doesn't get spam, I love his sense of humour!

Look at his archives too, link at the bottom.

Thank you Janet you are the best.

I was looking at some of my cultivars and found an amazing resemblance of several and I can not imagine if I loose the tags how I will ever tell them apart. For example.
We are looking to ID this one:



Here are three I already have and they are similiar to the one we are trying to ID in some ways.
1. Ocean

2. Milky Way

3. Variegatum


The question now is, which one of these is the unknown one. These are the most popular of the what some call the reverse variegated, now known as Variegatum. What are your thoughts when you compare them? Just curious.

These all could pass for the each other. Wow, how confusing this is going to be keeping them separated in the greenhouse.
