Tradescantia ohiensis var. foliosa (Small) MacRoberts has been recognized for the forms with pilose leaves and sheaths (D. T. MacRoberts 1977). I have found such plants scattered among populations of glabrous plants, and I do not consider them worthy of formal taxonomic status.
The following hybrids are known: Tradescantia ohiensis ´ T. gigantea, in Louisiana and Texas; T. ohiensis ´ T. hirsuticaulis, Arkansas; T. ohiensis ´ T. occidentalis, Arkansas, Louisiana; T. ohiensis ´ T. ozarkana, Arkansas; T. ohiensis ´ T. paludosa, Louisiana (reported by MacRoberts, 1980); T. ohiensis ´ T. roseolens, Alabama, Florida; T. ohiensis ´ T. subaspera, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia; and T. ohiensis ´ T. virginiana, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
Tradescantia ohiensis, commonly known as bluejacket[2] or Ohio spiderwort, is an herbaceous plant species in the genus Tradescantia native to eastern and central North America. It is the most common and widely distributed species of Tradescantia in the United States, where it can be found from Maine in the northeast, west to Minnesota, and south to Texas and Florida. It also has a very small distribution in Canada in extreme southern Ontario near Windsor.[3][4][5]
Distinguishing features of the species include glaucous leaves and stems, leaves forming an acute angle with the stems, sepals with hairs lacking glands which are confined to the apex if present at all, and a relatively tall habit (up to about 115 cm). Typical habitats for the plant include roadsides, along railroads, and in fields and thickets. Less typically it can occur in woods, and sometimes along streams. As with many species in the genus, it often forms hybrids with related species where they co-occur. More specifically, at least nine different species are thought to be capable of forming hybrids with T. ohiensis.[6]
Ohio spiderwort has edible flowers and shoots.[1] Flowers and stems can be eaten raw, while the leaves can be cooked. Leaves of the plant are mucilaginous and can be used to soothe insect bites in a similar way to aloe vera.

In het Engels staat ze bekend als Ohio Spiderwort en als Bluejacket.
Het betreft kruidachtige planten met een hoogte die varieert van 15 tot 115 cm, waarmee ze hoger wordt dan de erop lijkende Tradescantia virginiana Evenals bij T. viginiana staan de grasachtige bladeren spiraalvormig rond de stengel gerangschikt. Ze zijn hier echter duidelijk afstaand van de stengel, en breder, tot 4,5 in plaats van 2,5 cm.
De bloemen groeien ook hier in eindstandige groepjes. De kroonbladen zijn in tegenstelling tot T. viginiana niet opgeblazen. Beiden hebben drie kroonbladen en zes meeldraden met gele helmknoppen. De bloeitijd loopt van februari tot september.

자주닭개비(紫朱-)는 닭의장풀과의 여러해살이풀로 학명은 Tradescantia reflexa이며, 양달개비, 자로초 등으로도 불린다.
북아메리카 원산의 여러해살이풀로 관상용으로 심는다. 높이 50cm 정도이고, 줄기는 무더기로 자란다. 잎은 어긋나고 넓은 선형이며 윗부분은 수채같이 되고 끝이 젖혀지며 밑부분은 넓어져서 줄기를 감싼다. 꽃은 5월경에 피기 시작하고 자줏빛이 돌며 꽃줄기 끝에 모여달린다. 꽃받침조각과 꽃잎은 3개씩이고 수술은 6개이며 수술대에 청자색 털이 있다. 꽃은 아침에 피어 오후에 시든다. 수술에서 돋은 털은 1줄로 나열되어 원형질의 유동과 세포분열 등을 관찰하기 쉬우므로 식물학 실험재료로 흔히 사용된다. 닭의장풀과 비슷하지만 꽃색이 보다 짙기 때문에 자주닭개비라고 한다. 잎은 나비 2.5cm 정도이고 중앙에서 2개로 접히며 꽃의 지름이 3-5cm인 것을 큰자주닭개비라고 하며 꽃색도 하늘색·백색·홍색 등이고 꽃잎이 많아진 겹꽃 등이 있다.
