Details
| Full name | Tradescantia ‘Grandiflora’. |
| Name status | Established but questionable, it may refer to a unique cultivar or may be a synonym for Tradescantia (Andersoniana Group) ‘Major’. Published by Booth (1842, p. 70). Because it was published before 1959, the Latin name with no description can be established (Brickell et al., 2016, Arts. 21.11, 27.1). The name may refer to Tradescantia (Andersoniana Group) ‘Major’, but there is not enough information to definitively link it to any plant known today. The name is established and treated as lost or an unknown synonym. |
| Origins | Unknown. |
| Classification | Unknown species, but likely to belong to the Tradescantia Andersoniana Group. |
| Legal protection | None. |
| Availability | Probably lost from cultivation, it has not been documented since its first publication (Booth, 1842, p. 70). |
Description
Never described.
| Species | Tradescantia. |
