Butterfly Pea

Clitoria pubescens

Description:

A climbing herbaceous plant, it was creeping up a half-constructed wall along with other greenery. It's leaves are alternate in phyllotaxy, with an entire edge, and tri-foliate. Flowers were racemous, with the one blooming at the most bottom. It also had fine hairs all around the plant. The fruit was a legume, non-segmented, compressed.

Habitat:

I found it creeping along a half-constructed wall, with a tropical forest-like surroundings around the building.

Notes:

This was the first plant that caught my eye when I joined my mom for a feeding program today. It was crawling over an unfinished wall and the flowers just stood out from the half-greenery; half-constructed wall backdrop. ----- Changes made, thanks sir Val!
