Tiffany, I'm getting more and more confused with this one. I acquired this plant 3 years ago, it was left by the former homeowners when we purchased the house. This Tradescantia has wider, shorter, more rounded leaves than the species T. pallida and I've grown it in both deep shade (where the leaves stay green) as well as bright sun (where the leaves turn reddish shades) but the leaf shape and leaf length has not changed. It also has a fuzzy pubescence to the leaves which I don't think pallida does; at least the T. pallida I've grown in the past always had long, narrow leaves with a glabrous surface.

Maybe the DB entry for 'Pale Puma' needs to be deleted and the photos moved to the general Tradescantia entry? I'm not sure if we have a specific administrator who handles the Tradescantia database so @zuzu @Calif_Sue @KentPfeiffer or @eclayne will have to decide what is best with this one.

I searched on line for T. 'Pale Puma' and Pale Puma Spiderwort but information is quite limited:

RHS states that 'Pale Puma' is a tentatively accepted name: https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/...
