Lupinus, commonly known as lupin, lupine, or regionally bluebonnet, is a genus of plants in the legume family Fabaceae. The genus includes over 199 species, with centres of diversity in North and South America. Smaller centres occur in North Africa and the Mediterranean. They are widely cultivated both as a food source and as ornamental plants, but are invasive to some areas. For instance, lupine has become an ecological problem in Iceland since the beginning of the 21st century.

Scientists reviewing legume genetics found that beans, soybeans, peas, and their relatives don't all use the same internal calendar to decide when to flower. Instead of relying only on the classic gene pair found in most flowering plants, many legumes use a different light-sensing protein and a unique legume-specific gene switch, helping explain how these crops adapted to different growing regions worldwide.
