Gentiana..?? Kalatope Al170311a

[Alok Mahendroo]

Dear friends,
The last Gentiana I had put up was G. depressa.. this one looks almost
the same but I think it might be different since there are more than one
flower on it and the leaves seem smaller and greener to me...

Location Kalatope, Chamba dist.
Altitude 2100 mt
Habit herb
Habitat wild
Height 3 inches

Regards
Alok

Alokji,

Its not G. pedicellata..though it looked alike from the top..

[Alok Mahendroo]

Thanks for the update Manu ji, welll... then back to square one... G.
depressa (according to my FOH) is supposed to have solitary flowers...
so I thought it might be something different... but...

Regards
Alok

Even I was not comfortable with G. pedicellata which is a delicate and longer plant. I would suggest G. carinata, if flowers are shorter than 1.5 cm.

G. carinata? I thought it was darker... but of course in this one too
the flower shuts itself... if it is in the shadows.
