woods. The fimbriata of Vaut is fuppofed not to differ from 
this fpecies. In faét the folds on the infide of the corolla — 
terminate in fmall teeth fomewhat jagged, between the larger 
teeth, but owing to the involution of the margins of the larger _ 
Jaciniz, thefe fmaller teeth do not appear; for the flower 
never expands, but remains always clofed at the point; which 
circumftance, added to the fize and barrel-like form of the 
corolla, at once diftinguifhes it from every other known fpe- 
cies. We fufpe&t the Gentiana ochroleuca may be a mere _ 
variety of this plant, but this we have at prefent no means of 
afcertaining. | |
