Summary[edit]

Description

Mojave lupine, Lupinus odoratus, California, White Mountains, Hammil Valley, Owens Valley drainage, elevation 1472 m (4830 ft).

This annual of loose sandy soils is nearly endemic to the Mojave Desert of the southwestern United States, extending shortly northward along the west edge of the Great Basin desert to the Pyramid Lake area of western Nevada. Like many of the other species I saw in 2017, it is often nowhere to be seen in drier years.

This species is sometimes confused with yellow eyes (Lupinus flavoculatus) which has a broadly overlapping geographic range, but Lupinus odoratus is easily distinguished by being nearly or completely hairless at flowering time, whereas Lupinus flavoculatus has abundant soft spreading hairs on the stems and leaf stalks. Also in Lupinus odoratus the leaves are yellow-green (vs. dark green), the stems are thicker, and the petals more royal blue (vs. purple).
