Details
| Correct name | Tradescantia spathacea ‘Vittata’. |
| Name status | Established synonym, another published name for the cultivar Tradescantia spathacea ‘Vittata’. Established by Verschaffelt (1857, p. 5). Because it was published before 1959, the Latin name with no description can be established (Brickell et al., 2016, Artrs. 21.11, 27.1). Assumed to refer to the only variegated cultivar of Tradescantia spathacea of the time, which now has the accepted name ‘Vittata’. |
