Centrosema or butterfly-pea is a wild legume from tropical America.
It is a climber or climbing plants or vines.
The plant grows by twining their stems around a support.
Uniquely shaped purple flowers appear along the contrast green leaves.
It is a treasure in a wild bush.

After a while passing the purple butterfly vines near the street, I eventually stopped to take their photos.
It looks familiar and my guess was right.
The butterfly pea has a close relative calls the blue-pea or
Clitoria ternatea or kembang telang.
My father in law used to wash his eyes using rinse water made from kembang telang.
Kembang telang has been domesticated and used as decorative plants.
