Details

Correct nameTradescantia spathacea ‘Sitara’.
Name statusEstablished synonym, another published name for the cultivar Tradescantia spathacea ‘Sitara’.

Published by Zhāng with a description (2014, p. 102). Several other names were published at the same time, and none was given clear priority, so none are established (Brickell et al., 2016, Art. 27.8). The name was then established validly by Hatch (2022).

The widely used name ‘Sitara’ is now accepted for this cultivar.
