Discussion
Penstemon haydenii is known from the Nebraska Sandhills, where extant populations occur in Box Butte, Cherry, Garden, Hooker, Morrill, and Sheridan counties. Historic populations occurred in Thomas County (D. M. Sutherland 1988).
Penstemon haydenii was discovered in northern Carbon County, Wyoming, in the late 1990s some 300 km west of the nearest Nebraska populations; it might have been collected in Wyoming as early as 1877 (W. Fertig 2001). A morphometric analysis of Nebraska and Wyoming plants revealed differences that could justify recognition of Wyoming populations as a distinct variety (C. C. Freeman 2015). It is listed as endangered by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
