Penstemon dissectus
"This species was described in 1822, based on a specimen sent to Stephen Elliott from Louisville, Georgia, then the state capital. The specimen came from James Jackson, son of Governor James Jackson. This species has been found at a total of about 21 locations, all in the Altamaha Grit region of the Inner Coastal Plain of Georgia. It is unique within the genus in possessing finely dissecting leaves. Penstemon dissectus is a Georgia endemic species that is rare throughout its geographically restricted range."
