Penstemon ambiguus
grows on sandy soils on the eastern plains of Colorado. Flowers have pale pink
petals with a darker pink tube. Leaves are narrowly linear. Well-developed plants
have a bushy shape. P. ambiguus looks unlike any other Penstemon
sp., and some botanists have moved it into the genus Leiostemon.
