The pictures of the flowers I've seen look identical, but that may be
mis-identification or not. However, while reading descriptions, Digging
Dog says that V. nigrum 'Album':
"The large basal leaves are coarse, deep green and textured. Their
undulating margins, and often their stems, are tinted a deep burgundy
color."
As to V. chaixii 'Album', MOBOT doesn't mention any burgundy coloring in
the stem:
‘Album’ is a white-flowered cultivar of the species. It is an erect,
clump-forming plant that forms a large basal rosette (to 1.5’ wide) of woolly,
ovate-oblong, long-stalked, gray-green leaves (to 10” long)....Stem leaves are
narrow, stalkless and much smaller."
Neither reference discussed both plants, but both are good, dependable
sources.
