Plants cespitose. Stems erect, 10–30 cm, glabrous or puberulent. Leaves basal and cauline, not leathery, glabrous, rarely puberulent proximally, especially along margins; basal and proximal cauline sessile, 15–20(–40) × 0.5–1.5 mm, blade linear, base tapered to ± clasping, margins entire, apex acute; cauline 3–7 pairs, sessile, 11–35 × 0.3–1 mm, blade linear, base tapered to ± clasping, margins entire, apex acute. Thyrses continuous or interrupted, cylindric, 3–15 cm, axis glabrous or retrorsely hairy, verticillasters 3–7, cymes 1- or 2(or 3)-flowered, 1 or 2 per node; proximal bracts linear, 10–30 × 0.3–1 mm; peduncles and pedicels glabrous, rarely puberulent.

Discussion
Varieties 2 (2 in the flora).
Molecular data (A. D. Wolfe et al. 2006; C. A. Wessinger et al. 2016) place Penstemon laricifolius with or near sect. Cristati. Two varieties, differentiated by corolla color, are difficult to distinguish in the herbarium, where corollas are usually brown. Populations with a mix of white, pink, and purple corollas have been documented in Wyoming (B. L. Heidel and J. Handley 2007).
