The bulbifer leaf has a different sort of coloring and spots than the konjac. If you look at big bubbles photos, the konjac is sort of streaky patches, whereas the bulbifer looks more like blotches.
The easiest way to determine the difference is looking at the top of the leaf. The bulbifer will grow bulbils on it, at the end of the summer they can be removed and you can (maybe) start new bulbs from them. I say maybe because I've never been successful doing growing them from bulbils, although I've grown bulbifer for over 10 years. Others, like Brian, have no trouble at all! LOL
Here's a photo where you can see the bulbils.
Hope this helps!
