Clitoria mariana, commonly known as butterfly pea or Atlantic pigeon wings, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the pea family, Fabaceae. It is native to the eastern, southern, and central United States, as well as parts of India, Bhutan, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Chinese provinces of Guangxi, and Yunnan. It has an ascending, sometimes twining stem that is 45 to 60 centimeters long, and produces purple flowers in summer. It is a larval host to the long-tailed skipper, and is listed as an endangered species by the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Its presence is dependent on appropriate habitat, and it may be eliminated from an area by development, changes in land use, or competition with invasive species.
