Status of the western spiderwort (Tradescantia occidentalis) in Alberta

Description

This wildlife status report looks at the western spiderwort, a herbaceous perennial wildflower and the only species of Tradescantia native to Alberta. Widely distributed in the central United States, the western spiderwort is found at only four locations in Canada, one of which is along the old dune fields east of Pakowki Lake in Alberta. It is designated as Threatened in Canada. This report summarizes existing information on western spiderwort in Alberta as a step in assessing its status in the province. It is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.
