A reply from Manoj Chandran ji: "Hi, This is Ischaemum semisagittatum. The bicolor nature is just an abnormality. This can be because of various reasons, the main reason being just a genetic segregation. Some physiological disorder causing improper partitioning of Magnesium (which is the main component of chlorophyll) can also cause this symmetrical discolouration. Effect of certain chemicals in soil, herbicide drift, etc. can also cause this. Usually, such variations are temporary and are not inherited. However, there are several cultivated varieties of ornamental grasses which show variegated leaves. "
