Discussion | Lupinus hyacinthinus is found in southern California in the San Gabriel, San Jacinto, and Santa Rosa mountains and on the Sierra San Pedro Mártir in Baja California. It is distinguished from its close relatives by its larger flowers in combination with green (versus gray or dull green) leaves.

Lupinus padrecrowleyi is known from the southern Sierra Nevada, mostly on the east slope, in Inyo, Mono, and Tulare counties. Lupinus padrecrowleyi can easily be distinguished from other Lupinus species by its usually white-woolly leaves, both clustered at base and along the stem, banners that are hairy abaxially, glabrous keels, and cream to yellow flowers.
