Variegated Pandanus and Crinum asiatica

What's the difference between these 2 variegated plants? 
 

 
Both are gorgeous variegates no doubt. The top plant is Crinum asiatica, a bulb which bears white starry flower. The bottom one is a Pandan, which has stilt roots but no bulbs.

 .... more importantly for a grower, the Crinum has smooth thick leaves, very nice to touch

....Pandan has thorns at the edge of the leaves, and if you turn to the underside, the midrib as well .... this can hurt you.

 We have small Variegated Crinum asiatica - in Chinese porcelain pot + driptray
