Details
| Correct name | Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Variegata’. |
| Name status | Established synonym, another published name for the cultivar Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Variegata’. Published with a description by the originator, Göschke (1867). Because it was published before 1959, the name in Latin form can be established (Brickell et al., 2016, Art. 21.11). The later but much more widely-used name ‘Variegata’ is now accepted for this cultivar. |
