Details
Full name | Tradescantia ‘Golden Red’. |
Name status | Established but questionable, it may refer to a unique cultivar or may be a synonym for another, such as Tradescantia zebrina Superba Group or Tradescantia zebrina ‘Purple Plush’. Established with a description by R. Vincent, Jr. & Sons Co (1925). Based on the description, the name may refer to another cultivar which existed at the time, such as Tradescantia zebrina Superba Group or Tradescantia zebrina ‘Purple Plush’. But there is not enough information to definitively link it to any plant known today, so the name is established and treated as lost or an unknown synonym. |

Legal protection | None. |
Availability | The name may be a synonym for a cultivar like Tradescantia zebrina Superba Group or Tradescantia zebrina ‘Purple Plush’, still in cultivation. But this is not certain, so the plant is assumed to be lost. |
