Classification of Lupins.
In: ''Lupins: Geography, Classification, Genetic Resources and Breeding''. St. Petersburg: Intan. 2002. pp. 42–43. Accessed 2 August 2013. The taxonomy of ''Lupinus'' has always been confusing. How many distinct species exist or how they might be organized within the genus is not clear. The plants are variable and the taxa are not always distinct from one another. Some American taxa have been described as complexes rather than separate species.Naganowska, B., et al. (2005)

Certain species, such as the yellow bush lupin (''L. arboreus''), are considered invasive species, invasive weeds when they appear outside their native ranges. In New Zealand, lupines are viewed as invasive and a severe threat in some cases. ''Lupinus polyphyllus, L. polyphyllus'' has escaped into the wild and grows in large numbers along main roads and streams on the South Island. A similar spread of the species has occurred in Finland and Norway after the non-native species was first deliberately planted in the landscaping along the main roads. Lupins have been planted in some parts of Australia with a considerably cooler climate, particularly in rural Victoria (Australia), Victoria and New South Wales.
Lupins are important larval food plants for many lepidopterans (butterflies and moths). These include:
* ''Mission blue butterfly, Aricia icarioides missionensis'' (Mission blue butterfly), larvae limited to ''Lupinus''
* ''Callophrys irus'' (frosted elfin), recorded on ''L. perennis''

''New York Times'' 16 November 2011. Three Mediterranean species of lupin, blue (narrow-leafed) lupin, white lupin, and Lupinus luteus, yellow lupin, are widely cultivated for livestock and poultry feed. Like other legumes, they can Nitrogen fixation, fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into ammonia via a rhizobia, rhizobium–root nodule symbiosis, fertilizing the soil for other plants. This adaptation allows lupins to be tolerant of infertile soils and capable of pioneering change in barren and poor-quality soils. The genus ''Lupinus'' is nodulated by ''Bradyrhizobium'' soil bacteria.
Lupins can be used to make a variety of foods both sweet and savoury, including everyday meals, traditional fermented foods, baked foods, and sauces. The European white lupin (''Lupinus albus, L. albus'') beans are commonly sold in a salty solution in jars (like olives and pickled cucumber, pickles) and can be eaten with or without the skin. ''Lupini'' dishes are most commonly found in Europe, especially in Portugal, Spain, Greece, and Italy. They are also common in Brazil and Egypt. In Egypt, the lupin is known in Arabic as , and is a popular street snack after being treated with several soakings of water, and then brined. In Portugal, Spain, and the Spanish Harlem district of New York City, New York, they are consumed with beer and wine. In Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Palestinian territories, Palestine the salty and chilled lupini beans are called Turmus and are served as part of an apéritif and digestif, apéritif or a snack. Other species, such as ''L. albus'' (white lupin), ''Lupinus angustifolius, L. angustifolius'' (narrow-leafed lupin), and ''Lupinus hirsutus, L. hirsutus'' (blue lupin) also have edible seeds.
Consumed throughout the Mediterranean region and the Andes, Andean mountains, lupins were eaten by the early Egyptian and pre-Incan people and were known to Roman agriculturalists for their ability to improve the Soil fertility, fertility of soils.
In the late 18th century, lupins were introduced into northern Europe as a means of improving soil quality, and by the 1860s, the garden yellow lupin was seen across the sandy soils of the Baltic coastal plain.
The successful development of lupin varieties with the necessary "sweet gene" paved the way for the greater adoption of lupins across Europe and later Australia.
Further work carried out by the Western Australian Department of Agriculture and Food during the 1950s and '60s led to more sweet lupin crops produced in Western Australia now than anywhere else in the world.

Taxonomy
The genus ''Lupinus'' L. and, in particular, its North American species were divided bySereno Watson
Sereno Watson (December 1, 1826 in East Windsor Hill, Connecticut – March 9, 1892 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) was an American botanist.
Graduating from Yale in 1847 in Biology, he drifted through various occupations until, in California, he j ...

In seed plants, the ovule is the structure that gives rise to and contains the female reproductive cells. It consists of three parts: the ''integument'', forming its outer layer, the ''nucellus'' (or remnant of the megasporangium), and the fe ...
s were the basis for this classification. A majority of the perennial and annual species from the American continent described by Watson were referred to ''Lupinus''. Some annual species with two ovules in the ovary and two seeds in the pod (''L. densiflorus'', ''L. microcarpus'', etc.) were attributed to the ''Platycarpos'' section. Section ''Lupinnelus'' consisted of one species (''L. uncialis''), with axillary and solitary flowers, scarcely reflexed banner, and also with two ovules in the ovary.
While Watson's work was predominantly based on study of North American species, the later research of Ascherson and Graebner (1907) extended his principle of classification to cover all lupins from the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, also using number of ovules (seedbuds) in the ovary (and thus of seeds in the pod) as the criterion for this division. They described two subgenera, ''Eulupinus'' and ''Platycarpos''. Most of the described species were referred to subgen. A. ''Eulupinus''. Subgen. B. ''Platycarpos'' included several annual species from the Eastern Hemisphere with two seedbuds and seeds in the bean (the same species, as the one specified by S. Watson).
A current schema retains this distinction, but uses the nomenclature for the subgenera of ''Platycarpos'' and ''Lupinus''. In this schema, subgenus Platycarpos
The genus ''Lupinus'' L. and, in particular, its North-American species, were divided by Sereno Watson (1873) into three parts: ''Lupinus'', ''Platycarpos'' and ''Lupinnelus''. Differences in habit and in the number of ovules were accepted as th ...

Subgenus ''Platycarpos''
The ovary contains two and more ovules or seedbuds. The seed are predominantly small-sized, with an underdeveloped embryo and small amount of endosperm. Cotyledons are small-sized, with long caulicles. The first pair of true leaves is alternate. The stem is predominantly naked with waxen coating. Dominating is the monopodial type of branching. Leaflets are smooth, with waxen coating or slight pubescence, predominantly narrow. Pods are flat or orbicular, with two or more seeds.

While some sources believe the origin of the name to be in doubt, the Collins Dictionary definition asserts that the word is 14th century in origin, from the Latin ''lupīnus'' "wolfish" from ''lupus'' "wolf" as it was believed that the plant ravenously exhausted the soil.Ecology
Certain species, such as the yellow bush lupin (''L. arboreus''), are considered invasive species, invasive weeds when they appear outside their native ranges. In New Zealand, lupines are viewed as invasive and a severe threat in some cases. ''Lupinus polyphyllus, L. polyphyllus'' has escaped into the wild and grows in large numbers along main roads and streams on the South Island. A similar spread of the species has occurred in Finland and Norway after the non-native species was first deliberately planted in the landscaping along the main roads. Lupins have been planted in some parts of Australia with a considerably cooler climate, particularly in rural Victoria (Australia), Victoria and New South Wales.
Lupins are important larval food plants for many lepidopterans (butterflies and moths). These include:
* ''Mission blue butterfly, Aricia icarioides missionensis'' (Mission blue butterfly), larvae limited to ''Lupinus''
* ''Callophrys irus'' (frosted elfin), recorded on ''L. perennis''
* ''Erynnis persius'' (Persius duskywing)
* extinction, †''Xerces Blue, Glaucopsyche xerces'' (Xerces blue)

Agriculture
In the early 20th century, German scientists attempted to cultivate a sweet variety of lupin lacking the bitter taste, making it more suitable for both human and animal consumption. Many annual species of lupins are used in agriculture and most of them have Mediterranean origin. While originally cultivated as a green manure or forage, lupins are increasingly grown for their seeds, which can be used as an alternative to soybeans. Sweet (lowalkaloid

) lupins are highly regarded as a stock feed, particularly for ruminants, but also for pigs and poultry and more recently as an ingredient in aqua-feeds. The market for lupin seeds for human food is currently small, but researchers believe it has great potential. Lupin seeds are considered "superior" to soybeans in certain applications and evidence is increasing for their potential health benefits. They contain similar Protein (nutrient), protein to soybean, but less fat. As a food source, they are Gluten-free diet, gluten-free and high in dietary fiber, amino acids, and List of antioxidants in food, antioxidants, and they are considered to be Prebiotic (nutrition), prebiotic. About 85% of the world's lupin seeds are grown in Western Australia.Ross, KSoy substitute edges its way into European meals.
''New York Times'' 16 November 2011. Three Mediterranean species of lupin, blue (narrow-leafed) lupin, white lupin, and Lupinus luteus, yellow lupin, are widely cultivated for livestock and poultry feed. Like other legumes, they can Nitrogen fixation, fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into ammonia via a rhizobia, rhizobium–root nodule symbiosis, fertilizing the soil for other plants. This adaptation allows lupins to be tolerant of infertile soils and capable of pioneering change in barren and poor-quality soils. The genus ''Lupinus'' is nodulated by ''Bradyrhizobium'' soil bacteria.
Toxicity
Some lupins contain certain secondary metabolism, secondary compounds, including isoflavones and toxic alkaloids, such as lupinine and sparteine. With early detection, these can be removed through processing, although lupins containing these elements are not usually selected for food-grade products. A risk of lupin allergy exists in patients allergic to peanuts. Most lupin reactions reported have been in people with peanut allergy. Because of the cross-allergenicity of peanut and lupin, the European Commission, as of 2006, has required that food labels indicate the presence of "lupin and products thereof" in food. Lupin plants can be colonized by the fungus ''Diaporthe toxica'' which can cause a mycotoxicosis known as lupinosis when ingested by grazing animals.Uses
The legume seeds of lupins, commonly called lupin beans, were popular with the Romans, who cultivated the plants throughout the Roman Empire where the lupin is still known in extant Romance languages by names such as . Seeds of various species of lupins have been used as a food for over 3,000 years around the Mediterranean and for as long as 6,000 years in the Andes. Lupins were also used by many Indigenous peoples of the Americas, Native American peoples of North America such as the Yavapai people, Yavapai. The Lupinus mutabilis, Andean lupin or (''Lupinus mutabilis
''Lupinus mutabilis'' is a species of lupin grown in the Andes, mainly for its edible bean. Vernacular names include tarwi (in Quechua II, pronounced ''tarhui''), chocho, altramuz, Andean lupin, South American lupin, Peruvian field lupin, and p ...
'') was a widespread food in the Incan Empire; but they have never been accorded the same status as soybeans, dry peas and other pulse crops. The pearl lupin of the Andean highlands of South America, ''L. mutabilis'', known locally as or , was extensively cultivated, but no conscious genetic improvement other than to select for larger and water-permeable seeds seems to have been made. Users soaked the seed in running water to remove most of the bitter alkaloids and then cooked or toasted the seeds to make them edible, or else boiled and dried them to make , reported as a pre-Columbian practice in . Spanish domination led to a change in the eating habits of the indigenous peoples, and only recently (late 20th century onward) has interest in using lupins as a food been renewed.
Lupins can be used to make a variety of foods both sweet and savoury, including everyday meals, traditional fermented foods, baked foods, and sauces. The European white lupin (''Lupinus albus, L. albus'') beans are commonly sold in a salty solution in jars (like olives and pickled cucumber, pickles) and can be eaten with or without the skin. ''Lupini'' dishes are most commonly found in Europe, especially in Portugal, Spain, Greece, and Italy. They are also common in Brazil and Egypt. In Egypt, the lupin is known in Arabic as , and is a popular street snack after being treated with several soakings of water, and then brined. In Portugal, Spain, and the Spanish Harlem district of New York City, New York, they are consumed with beer and wine. In Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Palestinian territories, Palestine the salty and chilled lupini beans are called Turmus and are served as part of an apéritif and digestif, apéritif or a snack. Other species, such as ''L. albus'' (white lupin), ''Lupinus angustifolius, L. angustifolius'' (narrow-leafed lupin), and ''Lupinus hirsutus, L. hirsutus'' (blue lupin) also have edible seeds.
Culture
Consumed throughout the Mediterranean region and the Andes, Andean mountains, lupins were eaten by the early Egyptian and pre-Incan people and were known to Roman agriculturalists for their ability to improve the Soil fertility, fertility of soils.
In the late 18th century, lupins were introduced into northern Europe as a means of improving soil quality, and by the 1860s, the garden yellow lupin was seen across the sandy soils of the Baltic coastal plain.
The successful development of lupin varieties with the necessary "sweet gene" paved the way for the greater adoption of lupins across Europe and later Australia.
Further work carried out by the Western Australian Department of Agriculture and Food during the 1950s and '60s led to more sweet lupin crops produced in Western Australia now than anywhere else in the world.
