Details
| Correct name | Tradescantia (Andersoniana Group) ‘Pallida’. |
| Name status | Accepted, the valid name for a unique cultivar. Published by Société nationale d’agriculture, sciences et arts (1834, p. 411). 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 has also been spelled ‘Cerulea Pallida’ (William R. Prince & Co, 1853, p. 21). |
| Origins | Unknown. |
| Classification | Like other hardy garden hybrids, it is now placed in the Andersoniana Group. These hybrids are sometimes mislabelled as Tradescantia virginiana or the invalid botanical hybrid Tradescantia × andersoniana. |
| Legal protection | None. |
| Availability | Probably lost from cultivation, it was last documented by William R. Prince & Co (1853, p. 21). |
Description
Never described.
| Cutivar group | Tradescantia Andersoniana Group. |
