Note:
Often labelled as Tradescantia albiflora, which is now considered a botanical synonym for Tradescantia fluminensis (POWO, 2022). It does not fully match that species, but appears to be an unknown hybrid from the subgenus Austrotradescantia. Tradescantia 'Aureo-vittata' is a synonym of Tradescantia fluminensisâ 'Variegata', but the description (leaf sheath, stamen length, indumentum (hairs of sheath and petals) does not fit this plant.
