Description
This species is very similar to Gentiana acaulis, but Gentiana clusii differs in the absence of green stripes inside the corolla, by a more pointed shape of the corners between the petals, and preferring areas underlaid by limestone.
Distribution
In common with G. acaulis, Gentiana clusii is found in the Pyrenees, Alps[1], Apennines, Jura, Black Forest and the Carpathians. Seeds are available from commercial suppliers.
