- Nomenclatural Comment
- T. mundula, a commonly neglected species closely related to T. fluminensis, might also represent a troublesome weed. Tradescantia mundula has been widely introduced in cultivation under the name T. albiflora and seems to have also escaped from cultivation. However, due to the hitherto poorly understood specific limits of T. fluminensis, T. mundula has been treated as a mere cultivar of T. fluminensis s.s., The epithet “mundula” means adorned, making reference to the strigose vegetative organs and the velutine sepals that characterise this species.
