Asian Pigeonwings, Bluebellvine, Blue Pea, Butterfly Pea, Cordofan Pea or Darwin Pea, Clitoria ternatea, Fabaceae. Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, Central America. Clitoria ternatea, commonly known as Asian pigeonwings, bluebellvine, blue pea, butterfly pea, cordofan pea and Darwin pea, is a plant species belonging to the Fabaceae family. The flowers of this vine were imagined to have the shape of human female genitals, hence the Latin name of the genus "Clitoria", from "clitoris". (Synonyms: Clitoris principissae). This plant is native to tropical equatorial Asia, including locations such as Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, but has also been introduced to Africa, Australia and America.
