Summary[edit]

Description

Mono Lake lupine, Lupinus tegeticulatus var. duranii, White Mountains, elevation 3085 m (10115 ft).

Distinctly more robust plants like this one turn up as occasional individuals (maybe 1 in every 200 or so) within this population of var. tegeticulatus, and are atypical of var. duranii only in maintaining the matted habit of var. tegeticulatus (versus tufted in var. duranii). See companion photo at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/127605180@N04/17626042572">www.flickr.com/photos/127605180@N04/17626042572</a> for side-by-side comparison. No intermediates have been seen in the area, suggesting that this form may represent a rare allele (or possibly an occasional polyploid) in this population. If so, this could have been the source of genetic variation that eventually became fixed as populations of var. duranii (and possibly var. grandiflorus also) farther to the west.

I follow Rupert Barneby's treatment in Intermountain Flora (1989, vol. 3B, p. 260) in recognizing the strictly acaulescent, mat or mound-forming Lupinus breweri var. bryoides (and its related varieties) as a distinct species from the rest of Lupinus breweri, which goes by the name Lupinus tegeticulatus.
