#3373 - Lupinus cosentinii - Sandplain Lupine

Ferdinando Cosentini (1769 – 1840) was an Italian professor of botany.

A lupine native to the western Med, but now a common weed in parts of Australia (such as my backyard) and southern Africa. It grows to about a meter and half tall, and dies off at the end of the season.

It was introduced to Australia as a hardy, nitrogen-fixing forage crop, despite being somewhat poisonous, and rapidly became a problem.

Perth, many locations.
