Lupinus polyphyllus var. burkei
(Fabaceae)
This stout lupine is commonly found in bogs. The leaves are composed of several individual leaflets joined at a central point. This arrangement is called palmately compound. The term "palmate" refers to a configuration resembling the outstretched fingers of your hand. The term "compound" refers to the leaf being divided into many leaflets. In this lupine, the leaf can be as big as a dinner plate.
