FIRE PENTSTEMON 
Pentstemon eatonii Gtay 
The thrifty clumpsof fire pentstemon growing in perfectionamong 
the rocks or pendent from the sides of a canyon wall ate strikingly 
handsome. They seem to delight in the most inaccessible places, and 
thrive in the scantiest pocket of soil, their flexible stems, two to three 
feet long, waving in the wind. This plant is one of the showiest 
membets of the Figwort Family. 
Fire pentstemon has a comparatively narrow tange in Arizona, 
Utah, and Nevada. 
The specimens grew near Superior, Arizona.
