Discussion

Lupinus antoninus is known only from the type locality on the southwestern slope of Anthony Peak in Mendocino County. The habit and pubescence resemble those of L. adsurgens, but the larger white flowers, the large seeds, and thick stems differentiate it morphologically. According to M. Conrad (1980), it also has different alkaloids. This taxon has not been seen since 1995 and may be extirpated.

Lupinus padrecrowleyi is known from the southern Sierra Nevada, mostly on the east slope, in Inyo, Mono, and Tulare counties.

Lupinus padrecrowleyi can easily be distinguished from other Lupinus species by its usually white-woolly leaves, both clustered at base and along the stem, banners that are hairy abaxially, glabrous keels, and cream to yellow flowers.
