Date Location Notes Images
June 7, 2011 Southeastern, New Hampshire The great news is that there are only two species of the Tradescantia genus in New Hampshire. The other species is the Virginia Spiderwort (Tradescantia virginiana). Virginia Spiderwort has hairy flower stems (peduncles) and hairy sepals, while the Smooth Spiderwort has no hairs on the flower stems and only occasional hairiness on the tips of the sepals. You can see hairs on the tips of the sepals in the 2nd row of pictures.
