Gentian. See Gentiana. 



GentiAna, Linn. After Gentius, king of Illy- 

 ria, who first' experienced the virtues of the 

 plant. Linn. 5, Or. 2, Wat. Or. Gentiamaceai. 

 This is an extremely beautiful genus of plants ; 

 most of the herbaceous kinds grow well in a 

 rich light soil, but some require to be grown 

 in peat ; indeed, all will grow much stronger 

 in it. Some of the species should be grown in 



pots, and placed among alpine plants, and pro- 

 tected in winter ; some of them may be in- 

 creased by divisions. The annual and biennial 

 kinds may be sown in a dry sandy situation, 

 in the open border ; but the seeds must bo sown 

 as soon as ripe, for if left till spring before 

 they are sown, they will not, very probably, 

 come up till the second year. The stems and 

 roots of most of the species, especially G. Ama- 

 rilla, campistris, cruciata, lutea, and purpurea 

 are tonic, stomachic, and febrifugal. Syno- 

 nymcs: 1, quinquefiira ; 2, ciliata, ; 3, Jim- 

 briata ; 4, cilidia; 5, amarelloides ; 6, Pneu- 

 mon&nthepseudo-pneumondnthe.
