Lupinus bingenensis, common name bingen lupine or Suksdorf's lupine, is a plant species native to the US states of Washington (state) , Idaho, Montana and Oregon as well as from British Columbia. Lupinus grows well in mountainous regions. The name honors the city of Bingen, in Klickitat County, Washington (state) .[3][4]

Lupinus bingenensis is a perennial herb up to 100 cm (40 inches)tall, most of the shoots covered with silky hairs. Each leaf has 9-15 leaflets, oblanceolate with pointed tips, both sides green though with whitish hairs on both sides. Flowers are blue to lavender, borne in racemes up to 20 cm (8 inches) long.[5][6][7]

Several varietal names have been proposed, only two of which are widely recognized at present:[2]
