Gentiana crinita, Froel. Fig. 1625. Frinoed Gentian. Biennial or often annual: erect, branched, 1-2 ft. high: lvs. lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, acutish, from a rounded or subcordate partly clasping base: corolla-lobes wedge-obovate: seeds roughened by scales or needle-like projections. Moist woods and meadows. N. Amer. B.M.2031. Mn.4:161. B.B. 2:613.—The ribs of the calyx (made by the decurrent lobes) are one of the minor beauties of this plant, and are probably more pronounced than in the other fringed gentians here described. Almost impossible to grow in cult.
