Thermopsis lanceolata, the tapered false lupin (or lupine), is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae, native to Russia ( Siberia), Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Nepal and China (Hebei Sheng, Gansu Sheng, Shanxi Sheng, Shaanxi Sheng, Qinghai Sheng, Nei Mongol Zizhiqu (s.)). [2] Growing to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall and broad, this herbaceous perennial has grey-green leaves and erect tapering panicles of pale yellow, pea-like flowers in spring. It is closely related to the familiar lupins of gardens, but with a more bushy appearance. [3]
The plant is tough and resilient, tolerating a wide range of growing conditions, but resents disturbance.
The Latin specific epithet lanceolata means 'spear-shaped', in reference to the leaves. [4]
