White Butterfly Pea

Clitoria Ternatea

Description:

Creeper

Habitat:

This plant is native to tropical equatorial Asia, but has been introduced to Africa, Australia and America.

Notes:

The blue and light blue varieties are common here in South India. The white one is rather rare. I have added the blue flowers for comparison.
