Abstract

Sharpleaf penstemon occupies a limited range in central Washington, eastern Oregon, southern and east-central Idaho, northwestern Nevada, and northern Utah (Hitchcock et al. 1959; St. John et al. 2009; Hitchcock and Cronquist 2018). It is most common in low-elevation habitats of the Columbia River Basin in Washington and Oregon and the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho (Hitchcock et al. 1959; Holmgren 1979).
