    Lupine

    Lupine (Latin lupus, "wolf," from the belief that it robs the soil) is the common name for several annual or perennial herbaceous plant species in the pea family (Leguminosae or Fabaceae; see legume) genus Lupinus. Lupines are characterized by palmately compound leaves (i.e., leaflets that radiate from a central point) and showy flower spikes. These traits make lupines admirable ornamentals (e.g., "Russell Hybrid" lupines).
