The locality of this plant, so distant from the otherwise widely- 
spread known stations, together with the distinguishing characters 
above given, induced me at first to consider this Gentian distinct 
from the G. detonsa of Fries, itself very near, and often confounded 
with, the G. ciliata, L. The tube of the calyx is clearly winged 
at the angles,
