Type species

Tradescantia virginiana L.

Description

Herbs geophytes, base definite, perennial, sometimes annual, succulent, terrestrial or rupicolous. Roots thick, tuberous. Stems erect, sometimes prostrate with apex, succulent, unbranched to little branched to branched only at base, rooting at the basal nodes, rarely rooting at the distal ones when they touch the substrate. Leaves sessile; spirally-alternate, evenly distributed along the stem, sometimes congested at the apex of the stems; sheaths closed, commonly splitting open at maturity; blades falcate and/or complicate, base symmetric, midvein conspicuous, adaxially impressed, abaxially prominent, rounded, secondary veins conspicuous. Synflorescences terminal in the distal portion of the stems, composed of a solitary main florescence. Inflorescences (main florescences) consisting of a pedunculate double-cincinni fused back to back; inflorescence bract hyaline, tubular, inconspicuous; peduncle bracts absent; supernumerary bracts absent; cincinni bracts leaf-like, unequal to each other, saccate or not, conduplicate, free, overlapping each other; bracteoles expanded, imbricate, linear-triangular to triangular, hyaline. Flowers bisexual, actinomorphic, flat; pedicel non-gibbous at apex, straight at anthesis and pre-anthesis, deflexed at post-anthesis; sepals equal, free, membranous, elliptic to broadly elliptic, not dorsally keeled, apex acute; petals sessile, equal, free, blade ovate to broadly ovate or rhomboid to broadly obovoid to obovoid, flat or plicate, base cuneate to obtuse, margin entire, apex acute to obtuse; stamens 6, arranged in two series, equal, filaments free, straight at anthesis and post-anthesis, to medially densely bearded with moniliform hairs, hairs shorter than the stamens, variously colored, anthers with connective quadrangular to rectangular, yellow, anther sacs C-shaped, yellow, pollen yellow; ovary glabrous, locules 2-ovulate, style straight at anthesis and post-anthesis, variously colored, cylindrical at base, obconical at the apex, stigma capitate to trilobate, pistil the same length as the stamens. Capsules subglobose to globose, light to medium brown when mature, glabrous, loculicidal, 3-valved, sometimes apiculate due to persistent style base. Seeds exarillate, 1–2 per locule, ellipsoid to narrowly trigonal, ventrally flattened, not cleft towards the embryotega, testa scrobiculate to rugose, with ridges radiating from the embryotega, embryotega dorsal, conspicuous, with a prominent apicule.

Habitat, distribution and ecology

Tradescantia subg. Tradescantia is restricted to Canada, USA and Mexico, but considerably more diverse in the USA (Fig. 11). Its species generally grow in open grasslands, pine forests or open rocky areas.

Included species

The subgenus includes ca. 30 species, namely: Tradescantia bracteata Small ex Britton, T. cirrifera Mart., T. edwardsiana Tharp, T. ernestiana E.S.Anderson & Woodson, T. gigantea Rose, T. gypsophila B.L.Turner, T. hirsuticaulis Small, T. hirsutiflora Bush, T. humilis Rose, T. longipes E.S.Anderson & Woodson, T. monosperma Brandegee, T. occidentalis (Britton) Smyth, T. ohiensis Raf., T. ozarkana E.S.Anderson & Woodson, T. pedicellata Celarier, T. pinetorum Greene, T. reverchonii Bush, T. roseolens Small, T. stenophylla Brandegee, T. subacaulis Bush, T. subaspera Ker Gawl., T. subtilis Matuda (= T. maysillesii Matuda), T. tharpii E.S.Anderson & Woodson, T. virginiana L., and T. wrightii Rose & Bush. The species native to the United States have been thoroughly revised by Anderson and Woodson Jr. (1935)[2]. However, as stated by the authors, the species concentrated in Mexico are still in need of taxonomic revision, and might reveal taxonomic novelties.

Comments

Tradescantia subg. Tradescantia can be easily differentiated from the remaining subgenera by its grass-like appearance (Fig. 14 B–D, F), leaf-sheaths split open at maturity (Fig. 14E), linear leaf-blades (Fig. 14 B–D, F), pedicels apically non-gibbous (Fig. 14H, I), filaments densely bearded with moniliform hairs (Fig. 14J–L), and stigmatic papillae restricted to the margins of the stigma (i.e. leaving the stylar canal evident; Fig. 14N)). As aforementioned, this subgenus contains the biggest flowers of Tradescantia, being commonly cultivated all around the world. The group’s taxonomy, ontogeny, cytology, reproductive system, and hybridization were heavily studied by Anderson and Diehl (1932)[3], Anderson and Woodson Jr. (1935)[2], Anderson (1936a[4], 1936b[5]), Anderson and Hubricht (1938)[6], Anderson and Sax (1936)[7], Celarier (1955)[8], Darlington (1929[9], 1937[10]), Hubricht and Anderson (1941)[11], King (1933)[12], Riley (1937)[13], Sax and Anderson (1933)[14], Sax and Edmonds (1933)[15], Sax and Humphrey (1934)[16], and Showalter (1938)[17]. Nonetheless, the group’s taxonomy remains challenging due to the high frequency of hybridization in nature (see references above) and the recent origin of the group, illustrated by the extremely short branches and poorly-resolved internal relationships recovered by Hertweck and Pires (2014)[18]. Hunt (1980)[1] proposed the distinction of T. subg. Tradescantia ser. Virginianae and T. subg. Tradescantia ser. Tuberosae, based solely on the degree of thickening of the roots. Nonetheless, T. subg. Tradescantia ser. Virginianae is recovered as non-monophyletic in the present analysis, due to the two species from T. subg. Tradescantia ser. Tuberosae sampled as nested within it. All species in Core Tradescantia (including T. subg. Tradescantia) possess somewhat tuberous roots, and the degree of thickening seems to be of little phylogenetic relevance. Thus, I chose not to recognized any sections or series in T. subg. Tradescantia. Furthermore, due to the relatively small size of Tradescantia, and reduced number of species in each subgenus, the recognition of sections and series in the present infrageneric classification seems unnecessary.
