i have to say now that you have taken the pictures in my mind there can be no doubt its an Ae Ae all be it a somewhat unusual one. As i have stated before there are many different lines of Ae Ae now that every one and there brother are growing them some variability is bound to creep in. I think you will find over time if you reduce the Nitrogen a bit more this plant will produce more white. However i must causation you if the leafs get more then 50% white this can be a sign of the plant is weakening. In that event up the nitrogen a bit to help reduce It. If you go to the wiki theirs some pretty nice info on the Ae Ae from some vary advanced growers that explains the Nitrogen issue. As well as a beautiful example of how the Ae Ae produces the white tissue

PS keep it in the shade. they burn easily
