Rhynchosia acuminatifolia / Tokirimame トキリマメ

 
Rhynchosia acuminatifolia, a perennial vine, occurs in fields and mountains. It resembles another species, R. volubillis, but there are some morphological differences between them. With  Rhynchosia acuminatifolia, leaflets are large and thin, and tips abruptly become narrow to get pointed. Also, the width of the leaflet's lower halves is broadest, while in R. volubillis,  the upper halves are widest. Bloom time: July-September.
