Lupin

The major Lupin crop in Australia is Angustifolius, also known as the narrow-leafed or Australian Sweet Lupin. It is an erect (20 - 150 cm) annual legume with profuse lateral branching. The flowers are white and tinged with pink or purple. The pods are of medium size and generally contain 3 to 5 seeds which vary in colour from white to brown depending on the variety. Angustifolius Lupins are well adapted to deep, sandy acidic soils, but are grown successfully on well drained duplex, medium textured and mildly alkaline soils.
