Lupinus formosus E.L.Greene
var. formosus
Northeast summit of GRASS MOUNTAIN: north slopes
draining toward Elizabeth Lake; south slopes toward
Green Valley. Lake Hughes 7.5' USGS Quadrangle; T6N
R14W, NW/4 NW/4 section 6. Elev. ca 4540-4560 feet.
Somewhat flattened summit dominated by grassland
with a rich diversity of herbs; unfortunately, also heavily
invaded by non-native annual grasses, probably
introduced by post-fire seeding after a recent local fire.
Descending slopes clad in chaparral.
Herbaceous perennial, occasional locally in
grassland. Corollas glabrous, bluish-lavender; banner
with white center bordered by violet.
