SC - Lupini Beans??

[Decker, Terry D.]

I can't place them, but it is possible that you are talking about lupine
seeds.  Lupine or lupin is a generic name for members of the genus Lupinus
in the pea family.  Lupines have been cultivated since the Bronze Age, so it
is very likely they were known in period.
