Summary

Description

Westgard Pass beardtongue, Penstemon scapoides, California, White Mountains, Black Mountain, Owens Valley drainage, elevation 2303 m (7555 ft). Also visible is litter of singleleaf pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla).

One of my favorite penstemons, this distinctive species is rare in the sense that it occupies a very limited geographic range in Inyo County, California. It extends from the Wyman Creek watershed in the southern White Mountains, southward to the Waucoba Peak area and the Mazourka Canyon watershed in the northern Inyo Mountains, with one small eastern outlier in the northern Last Chance Range. Within this limited range, it can be quite common, putting on colorful roadside displays in wetter years. Its favorite habitat is carbonate or calcareous outcrops and rocky soils in the pinyon-juniper zone, and up into the lower edge of the subalpine bristlecone-limber pine forest, at elevations of 2000-3200 m (6500-10500 ft).
