Details
| Full name | Tradescantia concolor ‘Vittata’. |
| Name status | Accepted, the valid name for a unique cultivar. Published by Glasshouse Works (1984, p. 17). Although the duplicated Latin name should not be established (Brickell et al., 2016, Art. 21.11), no other name has been used for this plant, so it is now accepted. Not to be confused with T. spathacea ‘Vittata’, a cultivar of a related species which is still in circulation. |
| Origins | Unknown. |
| Classification | The species Tradescantia concolor was previously classified as a cultivar of T. spathacea, and this cultivar was known as ‘Concolor Vittata’. Now that T. concolor is a separate species, the cultivar name is simply ‘Vittata’. |
| Legal protection | None. |
| Availability | Not documented since Glasshouse Works (1984, p. 17), most likely lost from cultivation. |
