To me it may be close to Torenia violacea (Azaola ex Blanco) Pennell as per the following:
As flora of China says Corolla pale yellow or white, 1.5-2.2 cm, exceeding calyx by 1-2 mm; lower lip lobes with a blue patch, center of middle lobe with an additional yellow patch, ca. 3 X 4 mm …………..
Flowers of India shows some images of this species about which I am not convinced (these may be also of Torenia cordifolia Roxb. as per images herein):
http://www.flowersofindia.net/VioletWishboneFlower I think you are right. This should be Torenia cordifolia. Torenia violacea flowers have a distinct spots on the flowers. I was not aware of T. cordifolia at the time of identifying this plant.        Torenia violacea (Azaola ex Blanco) Pennell ?? : 9 posts by 2 authors.

051111PD02 Torenia violaceae Flora of Orissa: one of the common herb from Ranpur Orissa Name of the species: Torenia violacea ?
Family: Scrophulariaceae
Place of collection: Ranpur, Nayagarh, Orissa
Altitude: 100 to 300 m above msl
Habit: Herb
habitat: Grasslands, agricultural fields and also in hills I don’t know why … left his work 99.999 finished and left 0.001% for others.
I maybe wrong in my analysis but Thank you very much … for giving me a chance to learn more. Thank you … for introducing me to a new Genus. To me appears close to images at Torenia fournieri Linden ex E. Fourn., though enough details are not available. On further consideration, appears to be Torenia violacea only.
Torenia bicolor Dalzell No, Not Torenia bicolor Dalzell, endemic to SWGhats of India.
We may keep it as Torenia violacea (Azaola ex Blanco) Pennell as illustration of T.diffusa looks a bit different as per POWO.
I guess. T. cordifolia! I think close to images at Torenia violacea (Azaola ex Blanco) Pennell
