Gentiana crinita Froel. Fringed Gentian. 



PI. cm. 



Gentiana crinita Froelich, Gent. Diss. 112. 1796 [New York]. — Willis 49. — 

 Britton 172. — Keller and Brown 256. 



Frequent in damp open ground in the northern counties, 

 occasional in the upper Middle district, and at one station on the 

 Coast Strip. 



The Fringed Gentian is a rarity within our limits, but at one 

 station it grows in such wonderful abundance and luxuriance 

 that one cannot imagine a spot more suited to its needs — an open 

 bog where the Painted Cup, Tall Pedicularis and other more 

 northern species are associated with it. The lateness of its 

 flowering has apparently resulted in its escaping general atten- 

 tion and extermination. On some plants I have counted no less 

 than thirty blossoms. 



Fl. — Mid-September into October. 



Middle District. — Lindenwold, Clementon. 

 Coast Strip. — Ocean View (S). 



Gentiana viliosa L.f Striped Gentian. 



Gentiana viliosa Linnaeus Sp. PI. 228. 1753 [Virginia]. — Britton 173. — Keller

A single specimen found near Bridgeton, Cumberland Co,, in

 for the State. This specimen is still preserved in the State
