Annotation: As a cultivated crop, Lupinus albus is known from the Ionian Islands since old times (e. g. from Corfu: Pieri 1824: 55, as L. albus and L. termis, both names relating to domestic cultivars of this affinity). It is generally agreed that the rosette-forming morphotype with deep violet-blue corollas, pods shattering at maturity, and smaller seeds (native to the Balkan peninsula) represents the wild form. However, authors are controversial in respect to the taxonomic rank of the latter: some authors support specific separation as L. graecus (Anzalone & Lattanzi 1990), but usually a treatment within L. albus is favoured either as var. graecus (Gladstones 1974) or, less recommendable, as subsp. graecus (cf. Kurlovich & Stankevich 2002). [2016-11-13]
