"Keckiella" is a genus of plants in the plantain family. It includes several species of plants known commonly as keckiellas. A few species may be called beardtongues or penstemons because some keckiellas once belonged to genus "Penstemon". Keckiellas are native to the American southwest, especially California. They bloom in attractive snapdragon-like flowers. Genus "Keckiella" was named after the American botanist David D. Keck.
