1. Claw: white or yellow on the edge of the leaf tip is called a "claw." Claws are divided into deep claws and shallow claws.
2. Rim: white or yellow edging along the entire margin of the leaf is called a "rim."
3. Stripe: white or yellow stripes in the middle of the leaf are called a "stripe." If there is a single white or yellow line in the middle of the leaf, it is called a "central stripe."
4. Speckle: irregular markings in the leaf are called "speckles." There are "crimson speckles," "central speckles," "cut speckles," and so on. When the stripes are concentrated at the base of the leaf
or on the lower half, it is called a "glow." In addition, fine white or yellow dots on the leaf are called "brocade sand."
