Tabish ji, Tradescantia spathacea Sw. (Syn: Rhoeo discolor (L'Her.) Hance; Rhoeo spathacea (Sw.) Stearn; Tradescantia discolor) is a much different plant with long reddish leaves and axillary flowers clusters.
Dinesh ji and Madhuri ji, notice long filamentous hairs in flowers. They are characteristic of Cyanotis. I could find only two species with white flowers C. vivipara (it is, however, epiphytic) and C. speciosa. Nudrat ji, kindly let us know the place and the habitat.
