Chris,
I, too, reply on the RHS Plant Finder - so handy since it's been  
online.  If it would clear things up for my readers, I will add  
another name (syn. **).  I'm writing about Lupinus sulphureus subsp.  
kincaidii, and have been told by Oregon botanists that many of them  
are now calling it L. oreganus (those lumpers and splitters), so I  
will make sure to mention that.  Because I write for the general  
gardening public, I don't discussions on hierarchy, although I love  
to keep up with it myself.

I don't have my own copy, but would like to know what you think of  
Mabberley's Plant Book, the most recent edition 2008.
