Three of the photos at this entry for Oyster Plant (Tradescantia spathacea) appear to be correct. T. spathacea has green leaves with purple reverse. The other 5 photos appear to be the variegated form of T. spathacea which has green leaves, striped pink or whitish-pink so those photos probably should be moved to the entry for Variegated Oyster Plant (Tradescantia spathacea 'Sitara')

This question is similar to the question you asked about Dracaena reflexa. The Tradescantia spathacea entry covers all of the plants of that species, including the ones with variegated foliage. It probably would be wrong to move all of the variegated ones to the 'Variegata' entry because there are other cultivars of that same species with variegated foliage, so they aren't necessarily 'Variegata.'
