Discussion
Penstemon dolius is known from east-central Nevada (Elko, Nye, and White Pine counties) and west-central Utah (Beaver, Juab, Millard, Sanpete, and Tooele counties). Penstemon dolius is distinguished from P. duchesnensis by longer stems and leaves and more sparsely bearded staminodes. Corollas of P. dolius usually have nectar guides; P. duchesnensis appears to lack nectar guides.
