Details
| Full name | Tradescantia ‘Albo Lineata’. |
| Name status | Not established, an invalidly published name which most likely refers to either Tradescantia ‘Albovittata’ or Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Albostriata’. Published with a description and drawing by Krölling (1886, p. 419). The publication also used the name ‘Albo Variegata’ for the same cultivar, and didn’t give clear priority to either name, so neither is established (Brickell et al., 2016, Art. 27.8). Based on the drawing, the name most likely refers to either Tradescantia ‘Albovittata’ or Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Albostriata’. But there is not enough information to definitively link it to any plant known today, so the name is established and treated as lost or an unknown synonym. Not to be confused with:
