Etymology of Tradescantia:
For John Tradescant (aka ‘Treadeskant’) (c 1570–1638), English gardener of Dutch descent and plant collector, and his son, John Tradescant (1608–1662). Tradescant (snr) worked, inter alia, for the Earl of Salisbury (1609), the first Duke of Buckingham, George Villiers (1623), and King Charles I (1630). He travelled to many countries collecting new plants such as Archangel, Russia (larch trees), Algiers (apricot trees), France (poppies), etc. His son worked with him and introduced many species to England. John (jnr) visited Virginia, the United States, three times (in 1637, 1642 and 1654) and brought back the Virginia creeper bush, the yucca plant, the scarlet runner bean, and many other species. He took over as head gardener for Charles I upon the death of his father in 1638.
