Asystasia gangetica
A white flower with a trace of purple in the middle. Five white petals, and had no thorns. Inside, there is white parts that lead up to the purple that criss cross and have hints of purple in them, but very subtle.
This flower grew among many green leaves, close to the ground. It didn't grow on the fence, and was evenly spaced out from the rest of the other flowers that grew near it.
After some research, I found that the family name is Acanthaceae, and it's Chinese name is 十万错花. In addition, other common names for this flower is Chinese Violet, Creeping Foxglove, and Ganges Primrose. Lastly, other scientific names for this flower is Asystasia intrusa, Asystasia coromandeliana, and Justicia gangetica.
