Summary

Description

tailcup lupine, Lupinus argenteus var. heteranthus, Nevada, Jobs Peak Ranch Trail, Carson Range, Sierra Nevada, Sheridan, Carson Valley drainage, elevation 1498 m (4915 ft).

This is one of the most frequently encountered perennial lupines in the western Great Basin and adjacent eastern Sierra Nevada of southeast Oregon, western Nevada, and eastern California. It is found mainly in the sagebrush zone at about 1400-2700 meters (4600-8900 feet) elevation.

Plants in this area sometimes resemble Lupinus arbustus in their greener foliage, bushier habit, and long calyx spurs. But the defining character for L. arbustus, wing petals densely hairy outside near banner, does not appear to be present. And the type location for L. argenteus var. heteranthus is only a few miles north of here. The two species are questionably distinct anyway, and if merged this variety would still be the valid name under L. argenteus for plants of L. arbustus.
