About

Penstemon bleaklyi, the Bleakly Penstemon, is a rare species of plant from the mountains of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. It is one of the penstemons in the veronica family.

Where it grows

Initially the species was only known from the Culebra Range of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Taos County, New Mexico. However, in 2022 a photograph taken six years earlier by Jennifer Ackerfield in Colorado was identified as Penstemon bleaklyi by a New Mexican botanist. Though also in the Culebra Range, this was the first record made of the species in Colorado.
