Etymology

Ezo-yama-hagi comes from Japanese parts: ezo 'old name for northern Japan', yama 'mountain', and hagi 'bush clover'. That's why the name means a 'mountain bush clover from the north' and explains why the plant is a clover-like shrub that often grows on slopes and in cooler northern areas.
