A perennial creeping plant of the legume family (APG classification: Fabaceae). It is found in the mountains and fields of Japan (west of the Kanto region), the Korean Peninsula, China, and the Philippines. The stems are creeping and covered with short, yellowish-brown soft hairs. The leaves are alternate and trifoliate with long stalks. The leaflets are obovate, thick, 3-5 cm long and 2.5-4 cm wide, with glandular dots on the underside and short pedicels. From July to September, racemes 2-4 cm long appear in the leaf axils, and yellow, butterfly-shaped flowers 8-10 mm long bloom. The flagellum is broad and erect, and the wing and boat petals are long and slender. The tip of the calyx is divided into five lobes, but the lower lobes are particularly long and have hairs and glandular dots. The legumes ripen red in autumn (1.5 cm long, 1 cm wide) and contain 2 black seeds. [Motoo Nagasawa October 18, 2019] MedicinalIn Japan, it is customary to brew 15 to 30 grams of the seeds a day as a cough suppressant. The name Tankiri Bean comes from the fact that this treatment helps to clear phlegm. The Chinese names for Tankiri Bean are Rokkaku, Rokuzu, and Yaryokuzu, and the leaves are used to cool the blood, detoxify, and as a painkiller to treat headaches, stomachaches, backaches, postpartum fever, furuncles, and swellings. The roots are used to treat childhood colic, as well as menstrual pain and furuncles.
