Penstemon putus, also known as Black River penstemon, is a species in the veronica family which only grow in the state Arizona, primarily along the Mogollon Rim.
The Black River penstemon is endemic to the state of Arizona in the western United States. There it mostly grows on the Mogollon Rim in the central to eastern parts of the state with the species recorded in Apache, Navajo, Gila, Yavapai, and Coconino counties. They can be found at elevations of 1,500–2,600 meters (4,900–8,500 ft) in pine forests and pinyon-juniper woodlands on sandy soils.
