Discussion

Varieties 3 (3 in the flora).

Penstemon compactus and P. longiflorus have been treated as elements of the P. cyananthus complex (F. W. Pennell 1920b; D. D. Keck 1940b). All of these taxa occur from the Wasatch Range northward into the Central Rocky Mountains.

Selected References

None.
