A research paper I co-authored about Tradescantia spathacea has just been published!
There are two results that will be interesting to tradescantia growers.
First, T. spathacea 'Concolor' has been reclassified as a species of its own, Tradescantia concolor.
And second, the dwarf T. spathacea cultivars have been placed in a group, the Bantam Group named after the mini breeds of domestic chicken.
I've written an article which explains these results in more detail: https://tradescantia.uk/article/new-research-on-tradescantia-spathacea/
The full research paper is also available open access at: https://doi.org/10.5091/plecevo.138752
