| Remarks | = Gentianella quinqufolia (L.) Small ssp. occidentalis (A. Gray) J. M. Gillett, det. J. M. Gillett, 1952. In Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 44. 245. 1957, Gillett notes Gray's citation in Syn. Fl. N. Am. 2(1): 119. 1878 of Bot. Mag. 63: t. 3496. 1836 and states this as being the type. However Gray used the word "mainly" after this citation, in which several collections are cited. The illustration was supplied by Short. A Lectotypification is still needed. |
