That's a perfect description of T. violiifolium. I've seen this species
in Laos, carpeting an entire roadside for several metres in precisely
the manner you describe. Another thing to watch out for is that it
will produce adventitious bulbils at the base of the leaf lamina (at
the junction of the petiole) AND at the tip of the lamina.
