Lupinus mexicanus, also known as the Mexican lupin, is a plant species of lupine native to Mexico and introduced in Malawi, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. Some sources say it was introduced to India, too.
Its flowering period is March and April. It is usually found in the altitudes of 900–1450 meters. Its habitat is damp places, usually along rivers or seasonally flooded places.
A 2014 paper found that flavonoid profiles of Mexican lupine seeds had a neuroprotective effects on rats. It was found that the germinated seeds had no impact on the brain neurons.
