Details
| Full name | Tradescantia (Andersoniana Group) ‘Rubra Splendens’. |
| Name status | Accepted, the valid name for a unique cultivar. Established by Foerster (1931, p. 22). Because it was published before 1959, the Latin name with no description can be established (Brickell et al., 2016, Arts. 21.11, 27.1). |
| Origins | Unknown. |
| Classification | Like other hardy garden hybrids, it is now placed in the Andersoniana Group. These hybrids are sometimes mislabelled as Tradescantia virginiana or the invalid botanical hybrid Tradescantia × andersoniana. |
| Legal protection | None. |
| Availability | Probably lost from cultivation, it was last documented by Erhardt & Erhardt (1997, p. 657). |

Described by Foerster (1932, p. 10).
