Dew-Grasses and Relatives
Cyanotinae
The Tradescantieae are a tribe of plants in the family Commelinaceae erected by Carl Meissner in 1842. Many genera originate from the Americas, but those in subtribes Coleotrypinae, Cyanotinae, Palisotinae and Streptoliriinae are Asian or African in origin; several species in the typical Tradescantia and other genera have become domesticated ornamental plants and naturalised elsewhere.
