Details
| Full name | Tradescantia virginiana ‘Glabra’. |
| Name status | Accepted, the valid name for a unique cultivar. Established with a description by Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas (1876, p. 49). Because it was published before 1959, the Latin name can be accepted (Brickell et al., Art. 21.11). |
| Origins | Unknown. |
| Classification | The name Tradescantia glabra was established as its own species by de Candolle & de Candolle (1881, p. 290). That species is now considered a botanical synonym for Tradescantia virginiana (POWO, 2022), so the plant is treated as a cutivar with the same name (Brickell et al., 2016, Art. 21.5). |
| Legal protection | None. |
| Availability | Probably lost from cultivation, is has not been documented since its first publication (Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas, 1876, p. 49). |
