Torenia bicolor, the two-color wishbone flower, is an annual herb found in the western and southern India as well as the Andaman Islands,[1] where it grows mainly in moist and waterlogged areas. The plant has slender, four-sided stems with small hairs near the nodes. Leaves are small (1.5–3.5 cm long), triangular to oval in shape, with toothed edges and a pointed tip, and are carried on short stalks.[2]
