Thyrses interrupted, conic, 6–37 cm, axis glandular-pubescent to glandular-lanate, verticillasters (3 or)4–8, cymes 2–11(–15)-flowered, 2 per node; proximal bracts lanceolate to linear, 8–60 × 1–6 mm, margins entire or ± serrate to dentate; peduncles and pedicels ascending, glandular-pubescent to glandular-lanate.

Discussion
Penstemon hirsutus occurs widely in the northeastern United States, and in southern Ontario and Quebec. Its long, tubular, personate corollas and herbage with some stellate hairs may indicate a close relationship with P. oklahomensis and P. tenuiflorus.
