The white lupin is annual, more or less pubescent plant, 30 - 120 cm high, has a wide distribution in the [[Mediterranean]] region. White Lupine is widely spread as wild plants throughout the southern [[Balkans]], the islands of [[Sicily]], [[Corsica]] and [[Sardinia]], and the [[Aegean Sea]], as well as in [[Israel]], [[Palestine]] and western [[Turkey]]. Occurs in meadows, pastures, and grassy slopes, predominantly on sandy and acid soils. It is cultivated over all the Mediterranean region and also in Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Syria, Central and Western Europe, USA and South America, Tropical and Southern Africa, Russia, and Ukraine. The ancient culture of white lupin under the local name "hanchcoly" was practiced until recently in Western [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]].
