Details
| Correct name | Tradescantia (Andersoniana Group) ‘Cerulea Maxima’. |
| Name status | Accepted, the valid name for a unique cultivar. Published by WM. R. Prince & Co (1860, back page). Because it was published before 1959, the Latin name with no description can be established (Brickell et al., 2016, Arts. 21.11, 27.1). |
| 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 has not been documented since its first publication (Prince, 1860, back page). |
