Notice that the number of palmately-divided leaflets can be as many as 11-17 while the Sundial Lupine will only have 7-11 leaflets. Also, notice that the leaflets are much larger and have pointier tips.

Not far from the Sundial Lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus) that I found just over a
week ago, there was a large clump of Bigleaf Lupine. I was very surprised to find
it here because according to the
USDA Plant Database Advanced Search it is only found North in Coos County and
Southwest in Cheshire County. But I found a lot of it in South Central New Hampshire
(Merrimack County). Maybe it escaped from cultivation. Notice that the number of palmately-divided leaflets can be as many as 11-17 while the Sundial Lupine will only have 7-11 leaflets. Also, notice that the leaflets are much larger and have pointier tips. |
