Subshrubs. Stems ascending to erect, 20–80 cm, glabrous, sometimes ± puberulent, hairs pointed, glaucous. Leaves basal and cauline, basal sometimes few, opposite, glabrous, sometimes proximals puberulent, hairs pointed, glaucous; basal and proximal cauline 15–80 × 2–10 mm, blade spatulate to oblanceolate, base tapered, margins entire, apex rounded to obtuse or acute; cauline 4–6 pairs, sessile, 20–80 × 3–9 mm, blade ovate to lanceolate, base tapered, margins entire, apex acute. Thyrses interrupted, cylindric, 5–25 cm, axis glandular-pubescent, verticillasters 4–6, cymes 1–3-flowered, 2 per node; proximal bracts ovate to lanceolate, 4–50 × 1–8 mm; peduncles and pedicels ascending, glandular-pubescent.

Discussion
Penstemon neotericus is known from the Cascade Range and northern Sierra Nevada of northern California (Butte, Lassen, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Yuba counties). D. D. Keck (1932) used morphologic and geographic data to hypothesize that P. neotericus, an octoploid, arose through hybridization between P. azureus and P. laetus. J. Clausen (1933) provided cytological evidence supporting that hypothesis. A diploid chromosome number of 2n = 32 listed by N. H. Holmgren (1993) is probably a transcription error.
