With reference to my above post, here is an example.

The Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum' is the spider with the white center and the green edge. This one is a very popular variety but many people call it variegated ( I used to call it that until I did the research and found that in fact that is not correct.).

The Chlorophytum comosum 'Varigatum' is the spider with the green center and the white edge. This people call reverse variegated for the lack of the proper name.

There is a Chlorophytum comosum 'viridescence Hawaiian' that starts out as a baby variegated green and white, turning almost pure green before reproducing variegated babies.
This one is confused with the "pure" green until the babies arrive and depending on their colors you know what the plant is.

The C. Comosum 'Pictoratum' is another that has yellow center stripes.
The C. Comosum 'Bonnie' has the curly leaves.

The plain green is also a separate species.

I feel it would make it so much easier for someone who is wanting to start a collection of spiders to be able to see the difference in descriptions and photos in the database and I see a few flaws in our database regarding this information. I will be happy to discuss this with others.
