Name status

Not established, an invalid unpublished name for the cultivar Tradescantia cerinthoides ‘Limelight’. Listed online with photos by Korbas (2021). The name is in Latin and has never been published in hardocpy, so it cannot be established (Brickell et al., 2016, Arts. 21.11, 27.1). The newly-registered name Tradescantia cerinthoides ‘Limelight’ is now accepted for this cultivar. Not to be confused with: Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Aurea’ [1935], the accepted name for another cultivar. Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Aurea’ [1894], an established synonym for another cultivar. Tradescantia spathacea ‘Aurea’, an established synonym for another cultivar.
