Family Code: GENTIA Genus Code: GENTI2 Genus CN: dwarf gentian Genus Authority: Moench Genus Summary: A genus of about 125-250 species, herbs, temperate. The separation of Gentianella from Gentiana appears to be well warranted; some characters suggest that Gentianella is more closely allied to Swertia, Halenia, and Lomatogonium than to Gentiana (Wood & Weaver 1982). A molecular analysis has confirmed this (Yuan & Küpfer 1995). Genus References: Gillett (1957)=Z. Key based on Gillett (1957). Last Updated: 2019-11-29 Publish: 1
