I found this specimen while I was walking along the sidewalks from Philco to Bgy Central, Quezon City. Al Ferrer Claud said it is a wandering jew vine. But when I searched the net, I have a mix of scientific names: Tradescantia pallida,T. fluminensis and T. zebrina. The last one, which we pick as the most accurate, has synonyms: Synonym:Tradescantia pendula, Zebrina pendula var. quadrifolia and Commelina zebrina.
Do not touch this plant! You might develop skin allergy reactions.
