When it comes to the difference between Marubaikai and White Chrysanthemum, there are actually two views. One is that they are two different plants, and the other is that they are actually the same plant. However, the author of this article holds the first view. Let's take a look at the author's analysis below.
The so-called "White Chrysanthemum," with the Latin name Dudleya greenei, can be translated as "Greenei" in Chinese. This Latin name is also marked on many domestic websites, and what is called "White Chrysanthemum" in China is this variety. It is also mentioned in ICN, just search for greenei to find it.

Now let's talk about the so-called "Marubaikai" White Chrysanthemum, with the Latin name Dudleya gnoma, which can be translated as "Gnoma" in Chinese. This Latin name was initially labeled in Chinese as "White Chrysanthemum" on Japanese and Korean websites, and later called "Marubaikai" White Chrysanthemum in China. It can also be found on ICN, with the title GNOMA S.McCabe, 1997 (engl./ fr.). As an aside, it was initially considered a variety of the above-mentioned Greenei, and later named Gnoma. During the variant period, its name was Dudleya greenei 'White Sprite,' which means it has a nickname called White Sprite.
The shape of this plant's leaves (time for another poor translation): triangular to triangular-ovate, 9 - 25mm long, 5 - 13mm wide.
