I'm having some problems identifying this species of Gentiana that was collected in central Nepal. I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer!
From what I've seen, the closest it seems to come to is either Gentiana ornata, or Gentiana farreri, but there are still apparent differences between these. See
http://www.srgc.org.uk/shows/newcastle/report.html and
http://www.rmrp.com/Images/Plants/G/Gentiana%20farreri%20100DPI.jpg .
The problem is that there are around 60 species of Gentiana native to Nepal
, so I suppose that this could be one of the little known ones. I've had taxonomical training myself, but when it comes to a genus like Gentiana there really is no better way to differentiate the species than visually it seems!
