GENTIA'NA. Gentian. (Named after 

 Gentius, King of Illyria, who first ex- 

 perienced the virtue of Gentian. Nat. 

 ord., Gentian worts [Gentiaftaceoe]. 

 Linn .,5- Pen tandria 2 Digyn la. ) 



The roots of G. lutea is the true gentian of 

 the druggists, an intense bitter, only exceeded 

 by that of Aletris farinosa, a little North Ame- 



rican Bloodroot, the most intense bitter known, 

 and by Quassia amara. The smaller kinds may 

 be treated as Alpines; 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 division in spring. Some of the creep- 

 ing low-growing kinds, as acaulis, make nice 

 edgings to walks and borders.
