	Asiatic Dayflower, Commelina communis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-10)
		There are also three native Carolina species of Commelina, all of which at least superficially resemble Asiatic Dayflower.
		It is this "community" growth pattern (below right) that gives rise to the scientific epithet of C. communis.
		The genus name Commelina recognizes the work of Dutch botanists Johan and Caspar Commelin, brothers represented by the two large blue petals; in a sort of botanical cruelty joke, a third brother who made no scientific contributions is memorialized by the dayflower's insignificant third petal.
