Abstract
In the present paper, Lupinus bicolor Lindl., a plant native to SW North America, is cited for the first time to the Palearctic region. The populations of this species were found in Sierra de Gredos, where they grow mainly in temporarily flooded spring meadows in Quercus pyrenaica Willd. domain. After a morphological study of the specimens, we have not found any morphological differences between the Gredos and the American continent populations. The presence of L. bicolor in the Iberian Peninsula is probably the result of a human introduction, although more in-depth studies are necessary to completely rule out the natural origin of these populations.
