Tradescantia boliviana
A trailing, somewhat succulent spiderwort from the dry hills and woodland edges of Bolivia, Paraguay and northern Argentina, most often recorded in the Córdoba sierras. It takes bright light and a dry, cool winter, and keeps its colour best when grown fairly hard.
Where it grows wild
Records cluster in the Córdoba and San Luis hills and in the Chaco and Paraguayan lowlands. Inferred from the genus and the region: a creeping herb of rocky slopes, shrubby woodland and forest margins, often in part shade.
Recorded at 120-2,840 m, median about 300 m; most weighted climate sites sit at about 1,050-1,150 m in the Córdoba sierras.
