A perennial herb of the legume family (illustration) that grows in sparse grasslands in sunny areas such as rocky areas and gravel fields in high mountains. The external shape of this species resembles that of Astragalus chinensis, a medicinal plant endemic to China, so the roots were used as a substitute for Astragalus chinensis for medicinal purposes such as tonicity and diuresis. The Japanese name means Astragalus chinensis that grows on rocky areas. It grows upright at a height of 20-80 cm. The leaves are pinnately compound with 11-25 leaflets. The leaflets are narrowly ovate, 1-3 cm long and 4-10 mm wide. The flowering season is June to August. Numerous butterfly-shaped flowers gather in axillary spikes.
