Chikushi Hagi. Leguminosae Bush clover. Deciduous shrubs that grow in the sunny mountains of Honshu to Kyushu. Unlike other hagi, it is endemic to Japan. The flowering season is from July to October. The shape of the three-leafed leaves is rounded and resembles Marubahagi, but it is slightly elongated, and the inflorescences extend longer than the leaves, and the way the flowers are attached is completely different from that of Marubahagi.
Tsukushihagi flower. The color of the flower (wing petal) is bright magenta, but the lower valve (keel petal) is white, and it looks pale as a whole.
