Gibasis pellucida, also known as Tahitian bridal veil, is a trailing plant in the family Commelinaceae that is native to the West Indies, southwest Texas, Argentina and Mexico.^[1]

In horticulture, the plant is often mislabelled as the related species Gibasis geniculata.^[2]

Description

A creeping plant growing to 20cm or 50cm, it features thin stems and narrow green leaves that have a purple underside. Small and showy white flowers would appear in abundance over the plant in most part of the year.^[3]

Cultivation

Commonly grown as an ornamental plant in hanging baskets and as a groundcover, it flourishes in warmth and humidity, but it must be protected from direct sunshine and severe frost. It can readily root from cuttings.^[4]
