GENTIA'NA. Gentian. (Named after 

 Gentius, king of Illyria, who first experi- 

 enced the virtue of Gentian. Nat. ord., 

 Gentianworts [Gentianacese]. Linn., 5- 

 Pentandria 2-Digynia.) 



The root of G. lu'tea is the true Gentian of the 

 druggists, an intense bitter, only exceeded by that 

 of Ale'tris farino'sa, a little North American 

 Blood root, the most intense bitter known, and by 

 Qua'ssia ama'ra. The smaller kinds may be 

 treated as al pines ; and whether grown in pots or 

 not, a little heat and sandy leaf-mould should be 

 given them. All may be propagated by seed 

 sown as soon as ripe ; the perennials, also, by di- 

 vision in spring. Some of the creeping, low- 

 growing kinds, as acau'lis, make nice edgings to 

 walks and borders.
