Tradescantia virginiana, Linn.; also spelled virginica (T. montana, Shuttlw., not Heyne. T. tumida, Lindl.). Common Spiderwort. Erect, branching, 1-3 ft., glabrous or nearly so: lvs. conduplicate, very long linear-lanceolate (6-15 in. long), clasping: umbels several-fld., terminal, the pedicel recurving when not in bloom: fls. violet-blue, in various shades, 1-2 in. across, produced freely nearly all summer: sepals villous. N. Y. to S. D., Va., and Ark. B.M. 105; 3546 (as T. caricifolia). L.B.C. 16:1513 (as T. elata). J.H. III. 49:373. B.R. 26:42. H.U. 2, p. 129.—An exceedingly variable plant. Var. alba, Hort., is a white-fld. form. B.M. 3501. Var. alba grandiflora, Hort., is offered in the trade. Var. alba major, Hort., appears in the trade. Var. atrosanguinea, Hort., has dark red fls. Var. caerulea, Hort., has bright blue fls. Var. caerulea plena, Hort., is a double-fld. form. Var. carnea, Hort., is offered in the trade. Var. coccinea, Hort., has bright red fls. Var. congesta, Hort., has purple fls. Var. delicata, Hort., pale mauve. Var. grandiflora alba, Hort., is known in the trade. Var. major, Hort., has double fls. which are about the size of the type. Var. purpurea, Hort., is offered in the trade. Var. rubra, Hort., has dark rosy pink or red fls. Var. violacea, Hort., has purple-blue or violet fls.
