A biennial plant of the legume family (APG classification: Fabaceae). The stem is thin and can reach 60 cm in length. The leaves are even-pinnate compound leaves with 8-12 leaflets, and the tips form tendrils that divide into 1-4 parts and twine around other plants. In April and May, 1-3 small pale bluish-purple butterfly-shaped flowers are produced in racemes in the leaf axils. The legumes contain 3-6 seeds, are narrowly elliptical, 1-1.5 cm long, and hairless. They grow on roadsides and in fields from Honshu to Okinawa, and are widely distributed in the warm temperate zones of Eurasia. The name means "intermediate grass" because its shape is intermediate between the common vetch (Yahazu pea) and the common pea (Suzumeno pea).
