''Lupinus nootkatensis'' ((""Nootka Lupine"" )) is a perennial plant of the genus Lupinus in the legume family, Fabaceae. It is native to North America. The Nootka lupine grows to 60 cm tall. Late in the 18th century it was first introduced to Europe.〔Magnusson, B. (2006): NOBANIS – Invasive Alien Species Fact Sheet – Lupinus nootkatensis. – From: Online Database of the North European and Baltic Network on Invasive Alien Species – NOBANIS www.nobanis.org, Date of access 31 October 2008.()〕 The Nootka lupine is common on the west coast of North America, and is one of the species from which the garden hybrids are derived, being valued in Britain and other North-European countries for its tolerance of cool, wet summers. It grows along roadsides, gravel bars, and forest clearings from the Aleutian Islands, southcentral Alaska, and along the Panhandle to B.C. Rigorous self-seeders as they are, lupine can often be seen along roadsides and in open meadows, their bright blueish purple flowers catching ones eye from quite a distance. Their long tap roots make transplanting difficult, so sowing seed is preferable. ==Taxonomy== The species was first described as ''Lupinus nootkatensis'' in 1810 by James Donn in ''Botanical Magazine'', Vol. 32, Page 1311.〔http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.32044106372972〕 On the Plant List the species is divided in two varieties:〔http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/search?q=Lupinus+nootkatensis〕 * ''Lupinus nootkatensis'' var. ''fruticosus'' Sims * ''Lupinus nootkatensis'' var. ''nootkatensis'' is the subspecies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lupinus nootkatensis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
