REMARK

Closely allied to the other Middle Asian species G. turkestanorum (Gand.) Holub. , it grows in Turkey, Caucasus, Afghanistan, Pakistan to Mongolia and up to Qinghai ( China). Gentianella umbellat a is distinguished by the small corolla (8-10 mm long versus 10-13(19) mm in G. turkestanorum ) and straight calyx teeth (versus curved and hook-shaped at the apex in G. turkestanorum ). A single gathering kept in the P herbarium and collected by Capus in current Uzbekistan was identified as G. umbellata .
