What's Purple Heart (Setcreasea purpurea) Plant Division?
I am a collection of plants for biology and need to know purple heart originates in Texas and what is its division of plants? Class? Order? And the family? Is the queen of purple the same as "Purple Heart"?
The plant known in the horticultural trade as Setcreasea purpurea is currently called Tradescantia pallida by most botanists. I will not go into details, but both names refer to basically the same plant. Look Up at the factory and you will find http://www.natureserve.org/explorer answers to your questions. It is a great house plant!
