Asian Pegionwings, we mostly call it as 'Aparajita' flower. In India, this flower is widely popular as one of the holi flower and is used in many puja's.
The shape of this flower is imagined to be the human female genitals, hence the latin name of the flower is called as 'Clitoria Tarnetae'.
The beautiful purple flower, tiny shaped upto 4 centimeters (approx) length, bloomed in the greener plant. Some species are white colour as well. It is believed to be a very useful herb (flower) in ayurveda.
It has the medicinal properties such as fever, gastritis, nausea, vomiting, bleeding, skin problem, throat problem, and many more..
