Lupinus hillii Greene
Hill’s lupine
Kingdom Plantae Plants, but not fungi, lichens, or algae
Subkingdom Tracheobionta Vascular plants—plants with a “circulatory system” for delivering water and nutrients
Division Magnoliophyta Flowering plants, also known as angiosperms
Class Magnoliopsida Dicotyledons—plants with two initial seed leaves
Subclass Rosidae Roses, legumes, proteas, dogwoods, hydrangeas, mistletoes, euphorbias, grapes, many more
Order Fabales Legumes (pea and bean families)
Family Fabaceae Legume family (peas and beans)
Genus Lupinus “Wolf,” because of the mistaken belief that lupines ravage land they grow on; in fact, they contribute nutrients
Species hillii Named for Robert Roy Hill (1885-1973)
About plant names...
Apparently Hill's lupine is quite rare, since I cannot find much of anything about it
on the web. It is found in the United States only in Arizona and New Mexico. These photos were taken along the
west fork of the Oak Creek Trail, nestled deeply in a cool damp canyon near Sedona.
Identification: Not enough information to describe it.
