Discussion
Penstemon platyphyllus is known from the Wasatch Mountains in Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties, with one somewhat isolated population in Indian Canyon in extreme southwestern Duchesne County. Reports of P. platyphyllus from White Pine County, Nevada, are based on a specimen cited by D. D. Keck (1932) that is referable to P. leonardii var. patricus, as are most collections cited by Keck from western Juab and southwestern Tooele counties, Utah.
