Not sure if this is the correct forum or where I should ask this but I was wondering if anyone is familiar with Song of India (Dracaena reflexa) plants? Is that database entry a "General" entry? I'm curious because I always thought that D. reflexa was the green form with no leaf variegation and the photos at that entry are all variegated varieties and the data says Unusual foliage color. I know there are a few varieties with leaf margins of cream to yellow and we do have entries for different variegated cultivars:
Song of India (Dracaena reflexa 'Variegata')
Song of India (Dracaena reflexa var. reflexa)
Song of India (Dracaena reflexa 'Song of Jamaica')
Dracaena reflexa 'Riki' (I'm wondering if this is actually species reflexa, I could only find references for D. Riki and D. Rikki) one listing it as D. massangeana Rikki.

Dracaena reflexa used to be included in the genus, Pleomele so maybe confusion ensued when it was changed. I haven't seen a green Dracaena reflexa (Pleomele) in a long time but I know there used to be a solid green form out there so I'm just wondering if that database entry is for all D. reflexa, whether green or variegated foliage?

I haven't been able to find too much information when googling but did find the following, although I don't know how correct any of it is.
