Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Thermopsis (Greek, lupin and like). Leguminosae. Hardy perennial herbs.

Rhizome usually repent, sending up annual, erect, simple or branched sts., sheathed at their base: lvs. alternate, digitately 3-leafleted; stipules free, lf .-like: fls. rather large, yellow, rarely purple, in terminal racemes or disposed opposite the lvs.; pedicels solitary; calyx narrowly campanulate, teeth or lobes subequal; standard suborbicular; wings oblong; keel equaling or scarcely longer than the wings; stamens free: pod subsessile or short-stipitate, linear-oblong or ovate-inflated, straight or curved.—About 18 species, N. Amer. and N. and E. Asia. They are not particular as to land or position, but do best in a deep light well-drained soil. They are generally deep-rooted plants and endure drought very well. Prop. may be effected by division, especially in T. montana, T. fabacea, and T. rhombifolia, which spread extensively by the root, but in general the better way is by seed, although the seed is rather slow to germinate and should be sown as soon as ripe or in the spring with some heat.
