TAXONOMY : 
The currently accepted scientific name of silky lupine is Lupinus
sericeus Pursh [5,11,13,41].  Lupinus is a taxonomically complex genus
and there is much confusion regarding nomenclature.  Species within the
genus are extremely variable and freely intergrade, making morphological
characteristics used to separate taxa few and inconsistent.  There is
much disagreement among authorities concerning recognized subspecies,
varieties, and forms of silky lupine [12,13,18,41].
