Same plant. (Gosh! I think it is???????? Tony Avent corrected me when I used
"Secretia" as the genus. He told me it was Tradescantia.) In the tome by
Brickell he lists it as Tradescantia and says there is no genus such as
Secreasea or Secretia or anything like that. No wonder the taxonomists are so
detested!
Lets call it what we want to! Hows about Stygallium patsyinomen
'Purplepurple'?
