Spurred Butterfly Pea
Centrosema virginianum
33.98, -84.6
Field Notes
Description:
The pale bluish purple blossom of this twining vine has a very unique shape that is sure to garner a second look. It sure made me do a doubletake!
Since this is the only Centrosema species in most of its range, and it is similar to Clitoria mariana, is it most confused with that species.
You can compare to my Clitoria mariana spotting here:
