Sabatia (named after Liberatus Sabbati, an Italian botanist of the eighteenth century); also spelled Sabbatia. Gentianaceae. Hardy annual or biennial (rarely perennial by stolons) herbs, making showy garden or border plants, although little grown.

Leaves opposite, sessile or clasping: fls. showy, rose-pink or -purple or white, in cymose panicles terminating the branches; calyx 5-12-parted, the lobes slender; corolla rotate, 5-12-parted, usually with a yellow eye: caps. globose or ovoid, 2-valved. — About 18 or 20 species, N. Amer. and Cuba, mostly on the coastal plain. Sabatias require a light sweet soil. Seed may be sown in fall or early spring. The plants are easily transplanted. Some of them grow in brackish places.
