 II. 71. 1818.— Britton 80.— Keller and Brown ipS- 

 Open sandy ground and along the edges of woods ; occurs at 

 a few stations in the northern counties, but mainly a plant of the 

 coastal plain and most plentiful in the ^Middle district, though 

 it is found also in the Pine Barren and Gape May districts. 



The Lupine is one of the m)ost conspicuous spring flowers 

 of West Jersey. It sometimes grows in large beds, its "wheel- 

 shaped" leaves closely intermingled, and forming a fine setting 

 for the brilliant spikes of purplish-blue flowers, the whole color 

 scheme being almost a duplicate of the beds of birdfoot violets 

 that flourish in simiilar locations a little earlier in the season.
