The photo above shows broadleaf lupine in dry,
sandy soils at the base of Potato Hill, to the north of Mt. Adams at the boundary
between the Gifford Pinchot NF and Yakama Indian Reservation..............June
21, 2005. Although similar in appearance to
large-leaf
lupine (
Lupinus polyphyllus) or
Lupinus burkei,
this species is typically found in drier, sandier soils and has leaves with
a smaller diameter, and racemes that are typically more open. The flowers of this species appear to be ranked, with clusters of
flowers arising in a whorl at approximately the same point on the stem.
