Commelina communis, commonly known as Asiatic dayflower, is an annual or perennial herb in the Commelinaceae family. Native to East Asia, it produces small, vibrant blue flowers that open for a single day and fades by evening. Traditionally, the plant has been used in folk medicine for its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, and the blue pigment from its flowers has been employed historically in inks and dyes. With its ornamental, medicinal, and cultural significance, Commelina communis remains an important species in gardens, naturalized habitats, and ethnobotanical applications.
