12— LUPINUS LEUCOPHYLLUS, Doug. THE WHITE-LEAVED LUPINE. 
Engmting. — Bot. Reg. t. 1124. 
Spkcific CHiRicTitR. — Plant herbaceous, Tery -nllons ; flowers 
slternate, pedicellate, bracteolate ; upper lip of calyx bifid, lower one 
Description, &c. — This very singular species is so completely covered with a silky tomentum, as to look 
quite white and silvery, all over, not a particle of the green surface of the leaves and stem being visible. The 
stem grows erect and branched, two or three feet high, like that oi Lupinm polyphyllus. The white-leaved 
lupine is a native of the " woodless sandy deserts," which extend from the Great Falls of the Columbia to the 
Rocky Mountains in North America, and it was sent to England in 1825. It is propagated by seeds, or by 
dividing the root. It flowers from June to November, and its flowers are white or pinkish. 
13.— LUPINUS SABINIANUS, Doug. MR. SABINE'S LUPINE. 
Enouting Bot. Reg. t. 1435. 
Specific CiujtiCTER. — Herbaceous ; flowers somewhat rerticillate, 
without bracteoles ; racemes many-flowered ; calyx villous, with the 
upper lip ovate and acute, lower one boat-shaped, revolute ; wings 
roundish, siie of vexillum ; keel acute ; leaflets seven — twelve, lanceo- 
late, acuminated, silky. (G. Don.) 
Description, &c. — Thb very showy plant has bright yellow flowers, which are produced on a raceme eight or 
nine inches long. It is a native of North California, growing on tlie banks of the Columbia, and it is quite hardy in 
British gardens. It is, however, a very difficult plant to manage, as very few of the seeds germinate, and the 
plants often die off, without any apparent cause, when they are in full flower. It flowers in May and June 
but the spike frequently withers before all the flowers have expanded. It is propagated by seeds, which it ripens 
sparingly. It was introduced in 1827.

Enoravings Swt. Brit. Flow. Gard. t. 283 ; and our fig. 2 in 
Plate .S7. 
Spicinc Chuuctxr. — Suffruticose. The whole plant covered with 
a silky tomentum. Flowers alternate, pedicellate, bractcolated. Calyx 
appendiculate, with the upper lip bifid, lower one eutire, acuminate. 
Leaflets eight — nine, linear, deeply channelled, obtuse; ovary very hairy. 
Description, &c. — This species is remarkable for the very deep blue of its flowers. The plant itself grows 
four or five feet high, the stem becoming woody near the root. It is a native of Buenos AjTes, whence it was 
introduced in 1828. This species, and Lupinut arborew, planted alternately, would have a striking effect, from 
the strong contrast afforded by the dark blue and bright yellow of their flowers.

SpKcipic CniRACTKR. — Perennial, hairy. Leaflets nnmerous, 12 — j long as the upper one. 
Description, &c. — A very tall robust plant, clothed with a copious pubescence. The stem is three or four 
feet high, straight, and cylindrical. The leaves are on long slender footstalks, but there are from twelve to fifteen 
leaflets, varying from one to four inches in length in the stem leaves, but longer and broader in the root 
leaves. The flowers are large, and from ten to fifteen in each whorl, and the racemes are from nine inches to a 
foot long. It is nearly allied to Lupinus polyphyllut, and requires the same treatment, but it is larger in all its 
paxts.
