At the C.E.C. Chlorophytum borivilianum tend to be in the majority. The only way to distinguish between the two is by digging up the plants. In C. borivilianum the tuber touches the stem whereas in C. tuberosum they are attached to the root fibres. Have dug up quite a few. Would suggest you do likewise. Happy digging !!!
