[Latin] A genus of herbs of the Leguminosae. White l. (Lupinus albus) and Yellow l. (Lupinus luteus) contain the poisonous alkaloid Lupinine and the non-poisonous glucoside Luplin. Lupinus angustifolius contains a poisonous alkaloid, Lupanine. L’s and their alkaloids produce motor and sensory paralysis and symptoms like those of atropine-poisoning; and when contaminated by the presence of certain fungi produce a fatal disease (Lupinosis) characterized by jaundice, fever, and prostration. This latter has been attributed to an aromatic principle, Lupinotoxin, generated by the fungi.
