Lupinus andersonii is a species of lupine known by the common name Anderson's lupine.
It is native to California and adjacent sections of Oregon and Nevada, where it grows in dry mountain habitat of various types. This lupine is similar to Lupinus albicaulis in appearance. It is a hairy, erect perennial herb growing 20 to 90 centimeters in height. Each palmate leaf is made up of 6 to 9 leaflets each up to 6 centimeters long. The inflorescence is up to 23 centimeters long, bearing whorls of flowers each roughly a centimeter long. The flower is purple to yellowish or whitish in color. The fruit is a silky-hairy legume pod up to 4.5 centimeters long containing several seeds. It was named after Charles Lewis Anderson by Sereno Watson. [2] The bloom period is the months of June, July, August, and September. The habitat for this species includes slopes and ridges. Its' communities include, the Yellow Pine Forest, the Red Fir Forest, and the Lodgepole Forest communities. The common elevation for this species is between 1475 to 9580 feet or 450 to 2920 meters. The growing season for this plant is six or less months. The host for this plant include, the Arrowhead Blue butterfly, bees, and hummingbirds. [3] The Sagebrush Sooty Hairstreak is also a host for this species. The flower colors include, blue, lavender, and purple. [4]

It is native to western North America from British Columbia to Baja California to New Mexico, where it is common and can be found in several types of habitat. There are several subtaxa, described as subspecies or varieties, some common and some rare. They vary in morphology. In general this plant is an erect perennial herb. It grows 30 centimeters to over two meters in height, in texture hairy to nearly hairless. Each palmate leaf is made up of several leaflets, those on larger plants up to 10 centimeters long.

It is endemic to the North Coast Ranges of California north of the San Francisco Bay Area, where it grows in the forest, woodlands, and chaparral of the slopes and canyons. It easily colonizes disturbed habitat as well. This is a perennial herb growing up to half a meter tall. Each palmate leaf is made up of 4 to 7 distinctive wide spoon-shaped leaflets each 3 to 5 centimeters long.

Because of its wide distribution and toxicity it commonly causes poisonings of susceptible livestock such as horses, cattle, and sheep, though it is eaten without harm by wild herbivores like deer and elk. It is generally found from the Coastal Ranges and Sierra Nevada Mountains in the west to the Rocky Mountains in the east.
