tags: #publish links: [[Plant and Tree Species]], created: 2020-12-10 Thu --- # Tradescantia fluminensis Classified as a noxious weed in NSW and NZ. Easily ripped out but relatively hard to eradicate as it regenerates from tiny fragments. Don't use the line trimmer on this stuff. Also known as Tradescantia albiflora, which may be a separate species (currently being researched). Colloquially *Wandering Willy / Willie* and some other things. Soft, shiny, dark green leaves. Shade tolerant. https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Tradescantia~fluminensis https://weeds.dpi.nsw.gov.au/Weeds/Trad Big genus with lots of other similar plants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradescantia ## 2020-11-23 Removed from corner behind gazebo Several buckets of the stuff
