Lupinus Garfieldensis, commonly known as the Garfield lupine, is a species of lupine native to eastern Washington state.[1]
The Garfield lupine is most commonly found in May and June. The most common elevations for the plant to be found is 2,000–4,000 ft (610–1,220 m).[1]
Even though it could be mistaken for Lupinus sabinianus or Lupinus sericeus, they can be differentiated by their alkaloid profiles.[2]
The Garfield lupine has a global species rank of G3Q, which means that the plant is rare but not imperilled and that uncertainty exists about status.[3]
Description
The physical description of Lupinus Garfieldnesis is that the solid stems are 1-2 meters long and a little hairy. The compound leaves are alternate and petiole. Leaves palmately 5-11 foliate. The stipules are persistent and adnate to petiole. The bracts are present and small. The flowers are zygomorphic, and the petals are separate, clawed, and orange or yellow. The fruit is a legume, unilocular, freely dehiscent, and exerted from calyx. The seeds are smooth and range in color from olive, to brown, to black.[4]
