Gentiana saponaria, Linn. (G. catesbaei, Walt., not Andr.). Barrel or Soapwort Gentian. St. ascending: fls. light blue, club-shaped; calyx-lobes linear or oblong, mostly as long as the calyx-tube; corolla-lobes short, broad, roundish, erect, little, and often not at all longer than the 2-cleft and many-toothed intervening appendages. N. Amer. B.M. 1039. (Hooker is probably wrong in referring this picture to G. andrewsii, although the calyx-lobes in the plate are not narrow enough.)—Cult, like preceding. Also once known as: Gentiana puberula, Michx. Perennial, usually solitary- stemmed herb from 8-18 in. tall: lvs. oblong-lanceolate to lanceolate-linear: fls. blue, sessile or nearly so in the upper axils; corolla open-funnel-shaped, l ½ -2 in. long; lobes ovate.
