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.
