Lupinus alopecuroides Desr. |
Lupinus alopecuroides is a species of lupine native to the mountain peaks of Colombia and Ecuador.[1]
Lupinus alopecuroides has been used as animal feed. The species lives between the altitudes of 2700-4500 meters.[1]
The species only lives in 10 isolated mountains, 3 of which are in Colombia and 7 of which are in Ecuador. There is low genetic variation between plants in the same population, but high diversity between the 10 populations.[2]
