As the appearance of the flower looks like the one which is made as small as the flower of Lespedeza thunbergii (Fabaceae), this is how they are named ‘Polygala japonica’ (Himehagi). The flower is about 1 cm and tinged with red-purple color, a tubular shape flower composed of 3 flower petals, and the finely split bunch shoots to extend from the top.
5 calyxes at the root portion of the flower is tinged with the same color with the flower petals, and 2 out of the five are open as if they are stretching the wings. When the flowers wither, he calyxes turn into green. The leaves are rounded egged-shaped with the sharp tip and trichome growing on both surfaces. The leaves during the flower season is about 1 centimeter long, they grow to be 3 cm long after the flower wither. Long white trichome develops on the stalk in cluster.
