Pretty upright

Growing erect or upright is the habit of this small, square stem shrub. It has an attractive flower from its bud, when it sticks out its trumpet or makes a tube, until it completes into a blue purple flower with a yellow throat. A little like morning glories. This shrub with dark green leaves is native to tropical Africa. For the sake of information about distribution, these are the pictures I took in Aceh Besar, Sumatra. I found it growing thickly near a villagers' garden, and appeared to have not been pruned in a long time. This flower plant, also known as Bush Clock Vine and King's Mantle, blooms from August to January. It is known by the scientific name: Thunbergia erecta. (Scientific sources: Thunbergia erecta; Thunbergia erecta).
