Details
| Correct name | Unspecified. |
| Name status | Not established, an invalid unpublished name used to sell multiple different Tradescantia zebrina cultivars. Listed online with photos by Premier Succulents (2020), Candy Floriculture (2022), Plant Decor Shop (2022), tomplantman(2023), and WantItAll (2022). No hardcopy publication has been found, so the name is not established (Brickell et al., 2016, Art. 27.1). Based on the photos, each of the listings refers to a different cultivar of Tradescantia zebrina – ‘Little Hill’, ‘Violet Hill’, ‘Burgundy’, ‘Flame Dance’, and ‘Discolor Multicolor’. So the name cannot be linked to a single specific plant. |
