Vicia unijuga / Nantenhagi ナンテンハギ

 
Vicia unijuga is a perennial herb that inhabits fields and mountainous areas. The stems are erect, 30-60cm in height, with several leaves, each consisting of just a single pair of leaflets, with a few tendrils at the apex. The brochures measure 4-7cm in length and 1.5-4cm in width, generally in the shape of an oval, although this varies. Flowers, red-purple, approximately 1.5cm in height, are set on peduncles that emerge from leaf axils in a cluster in racemes. Legumes (fruit) measure around 3cm in length. Bloom time: June-October.
