Eefs. — LuPiNUS POLYPHYLLUS Lindl. Bot. Eeg. 1. 1096 (1827), type loc. nw. N. Am., Douglas; 

 Jepson, Fl. W. Mid. Cal. 316 (1901), ed. 2, 218 (1911), Man. 528 (1925). L. grandifolius 

 Lindl.; Agardh, Syn. Gen. Lup. 18 (1835), type from Cal., Douglas. L. polyphyllus var. grandi- 

 folius C. P. Sm. ; Jepson, Man. 528 (1925). In the form var. grandifolius of the coastal region 

 (Santa Cruz Co. to Humboldt Co.) the stems and petioles are more or less villous, but the racemes 

 are not always "compact", nor are the pedicels always "stouter", nor the leaves always large. 

 L. magnus Greene, Pitt. 3:160 (1897), tj-pe loc. San Francisco Bay region, Greene. 



7. L. superbus Hel. Meadow Lupine. Similar to L. polyphyllus; leaflets 5 

 to 10, 11/4 to 314 inches long; racemes slender, loose or sometimes dense, 3 to 10 

 inches long; flowers 6 lines long; ovules 7 or 8. 



Meadows and stream banks, 4000 to 8500 feet: San Bernardino Mts.; Sierra 

 Nevada from Tulare Co. to Lassen Co. May-July. 



Variation. — In the case of a new form such as L. superbus Hel., the first specimen collected 

 may not exhibit the usual range of variation in that form. There is, in fact, every gradation 

 from the somewhat densely flowered racemes of the original specimens of L. superbus Hel. to ex- 

 tremely loose states described as L. 

 elongatus Greene. L. superbus is a 

 more exiguous, less robust state of 

 L. polyphyllus Lindl. and were, 

 perhaps, better made a variety of it. 

 It has long passed as a state of that 

 species. There is no constant differ- 

 ence in density of racemes, size of 

 flowers, or size and number of leaf- 

 lets between L. superbus and L. 

 polyphyllus.
