Tradescantia zanonia, formerly known as Campelia zanonia, is an evergreen perennial subshrub of the dayflower family, closely related to Tradescantia zebrina.[2][3] It is native to the tropical Americas, ranging from Mexico through Central America and the Caribbean to Bolivia and southern Brazil.[1] Its common names include cañagria, cascajo flor, cinta, rascadera, and suelda.[1]
Its capsule is covered by the fleshy purple-black calyx, hence a berry-like appearance.[4]
It is cultivated as a greenhouse ornamental. There is a variegated cultivar named 'Mexican Flag'.
