Lupine
Lupinus, commonly known as lupin or lupine, is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family Fabaceae. There are over 200 species of Lupine. The term lupine, from the Latin for “wolf,” derives from the mistaken belief that these plants depleted, or “wolfed,” minerals from the soil. The contrary is true, however; lupines aid soil fertility by fixing nitrogen from the air in a soil form useful for other plants.
