Tradescantieae

(Redirected from Tradescantiinae)

The Tradescantieae are a tribe of plants in the family Commelinaceae erected by Carl Meissner in 1842.[1] Many genera originate from the Americas, but those in subtribes Coleotrypinae, Cyanotinae, Palisotinae and Streptoliriinae are Asian or African in origin; several species in the typical Tradescantia and other genera have become domesticated ornamental plants and naturalised elsewhere.
