Tradescantia multibracteata

A rarely recorded Tradescantia from Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil, known from only a handful of wild collections. Very little is published on its habitat, so this profile relies on the measured subtropical climate and the habits of related southern Brazilian species. Expect a forgiving herb that wants bright shade, steady moisture and a cool winter.
