Basionym: Penstemon laetus subsp. sagittatus D. D. Keck Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot. 16: 395, fig. 12. 1932
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 17. Treatment on page 237.

Flowers: calyx lobes ovate to lanceolate, 4–6 × 1–2.3 mm; anthers sagittate in outline, pollen-sacs 2.1–2.8 mm.


Phenology: Flowering May–Aug(–Sep).
Habitat: Sagebrush shrublands, coniferous forests.
Elevation: 500–2300 m.

Distribution

Calif., Oreg.

Discussion
