Comment by Steve Woodmansee on August 21, 2014 at 7:24pm: No but similar and related. This is Centrosema virginianum, or Spurred Butterfly pea, and is in the legume family (Fabaceae). It is a small twining vine with three leaflets, and found in pinelands and coastal uplands throughout Florida. It can be distinguished from Pigeon Wings (Clitoria) by having calyx lobes (sepals) which are not shorter than the corolla tube. Flowers are also more round than Clitoria species
