Penstemon auriberbis, commonly known as the Colorado penstemon or Colorado beardtongue,[3] is a species of Penstemon that grows in the shortgrass prairies of southern Colorado and in a few places in northern New Mexico.[4] Although specimens were collected on the 1820 expedition by Stephen H. Long through the area, they were not scientifically described as a separate species until 1920.[5]
