The species Tradescantia umbraculifera is primarily located in New Zealand and South Eastern South America, with more of a prominence throughout the latter[2]. The scientific name 'umbraculifera' means "carrying several umbrellas", which is a clear reference to its plentiful inflorescences per leaf axil that this species grows[2]. It is native to Northeast Argentina, South Brazil, and Paraguay[3]. The size of this plant species typically ranges between 30 and 80 centimeters with 1-4 double cincinni per leaf axis[4]. Regarding their reproductive organs, the pistil of this species is longer than the stamens[1].
Flower
[edit]The flowers of T. umbraculifera are often a range of color between white and pink. Always with 3 sepals attached to three petals[5]. This species is dioecious with 1 pistil and 6 stamens[5]. Each flower of this species has 1 ovary and 3 carpels[2].
Cultivation
[edit]Many subspecies of Tradescantia are cultivated together to form other subspecies. Still, many people living in areas where this species is not native keep T. umbraculifera in their homes as potted plants[6]. Otherwise, this species can be found in the wild throughout South Eastern South America.
