Not quite penstemon caryi

So here's another penstemon which is almost certainly misidentified in our garden (of all genera, it seems like penstemon has given me the most misidentified plants from seed trades and society exchanges!)
It came to me as P. caryi, but the foliage looks nothing like the image at http://apsdev.org/identification/descriptions.php?whichspecies_name=caryi . Any suggestions what I have on my hands?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
