- Check the distinctive field mark: Broad colorful red/purple/green leaves (ti plant).
- Confirm leaf shape: Broad strap-shaped.
- In India, compare location records such as West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and nearby regions.
- Confirm it sits within the Asparagaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Ti.
