74. Penstemon suffrutescens Rydb. 
?Penstemon caespitosus suffruticosus A. Gray, Syn. F1.2': 270, 1878. ‘‘Utah, near 
Beaver, Palmer.” Type, in fruiting stage, seen in Gray Herbarium. Pedicels and 
calyx more glandular than in P. suffrutescens. Probably distinct. 
Penstemon suffrutescens Rydb. Bull. Torrey Club 38: 503. (Sept. 30) 1901. ‘‘Colo- 
rado: Ridgway, 1895, F. Tweedy 170.’ Type, collected June 20, seen in herbarium

Penstemon procumbens Greene, Pl. Baker. 8: 23. (Nov. 18) 1901. ‘‘Forming large 
mats on open slopes at Keblar Pass [Colorado], 7 Aug., 1901, [C. F. Baker] n. 733.” 
Isotype seen in U. S. National Herbarium. With smaller, broader leaves, and more 
procumbent habit than specimens seen of P. suffrutescens; needs further field study. 
“*Woods,”’ at altitudes of 2,200 to 3,000 meters; Submontane and Montane Zones; 
flowering from late June to early August. Sanniape and Delta to Ouray counties, 
west-central Colorado, and probably to central Uta 
Cororapo: Gunnison: Keblar Pass, Baker 733 A U , Y); Elk Mountains, Brandegee 
(M). Ouray: Ridgway, Tweedy 170 (U, Y). 
Ura: Piute: Mountains north of Bullion Creek, near Marysvale, Rydberg & Carlton

75. Penstemon xylus A. Nels. 
Penstemon xylus A. Nels. Bot. Gaz. 34: 31. 1902, ‘The specimens before me were | 
collected by Mr. H. N. Wheeler at Sapinero,Colorado, 1898, no. 446.”” Type seen in 
Rocky Mountain Herbarium. Apparently son one specimen collected by me while 
at Sapinero, and this among dense growths of P. teucrioides. Perhaps the “species,” 
at least at times, represents an intermediate (hybrid ?) between P. teucrioides and P- 
suffrutescens. Needs further field study.
