GENTIANA INTERMEDIA. 
Class, Order. 
PENTANDRIA DIGYNIA. 
We SE raised this plant among a 
parcel of the Gentiana septemfida from 
seeds, which we received from Caucasus 
in the year 1805; since which we have 
also had several of them produced from 
seeds, which ripened upon our plants of the 
septemfida, from which it differs widely, i 
being evidently allied in an equal degree to 
the macrophylla. It is perfectly hardy, pus. 
flowers abundantly in the summer, but has 
never yet perfected its seeds, nor have we 
been able to increase it much by dividing ; 
it therefore seems likely to remain very 
scarce: we have kept it in a moderate sized 
pot in light loam, and with a plentiful 
supply of water during the hot weather.
