Edible Chlorophytum • Hindi: सफ़ेद मुसली Safed-musli • Kannada: Dravanti • Malayalam: Veluttanilappana • Marathi: कुली Kuli • Sanskrit: मुसली Musli • Tamil: Tiravanticham • Telugu: Kuchhela, Sarala pagada;

As per efi thread:

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

Leaves are cooked as seasonal vegetable.

Shilondha SGNP, Jun 2014 :: Requesting ID of this Chlorophytum species :: 27JUN14 :: ARK-50 : 8 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (5).

Requesting to please ID this Chlorophytum species captured in Shilondha, SGNP, Mumbai in June 2014.

Is this C. tuberosum?

According to Dr. Almeida most of the species found in the BNP are C. borivalianum. However, please check this link : Google Groups

Thank you ... for the ID and the information...

I will assume this to be Chlorophytum borivalianum. Next time I come across it, I will try to l look for the tubers. However, I feel it is criminal to dig out such beautiful looking flowers :(

It is Chlorophytum tuberosum.

... it is Chlorophytum tuberosum

Thank you ... Is there any external characteristic which can differentiate C. tuberosum and C. borivalianum?

I am attaching two images of Chlorophytum please find the same. I hope it will clearly differentiate.
