Gentiana glauca
Gentiana glauca is a species of flowering plant in the gentian family known by the common names pale gentian and glaucous gentian. It is native to eastern Asia and northwestern North America from Alaska and the Northwest Territories to Washington and Montana.
This perennial herb produces a basal rosette of oval leaves each 1–2 cm (0.39–0.79 in) long from a rhizome. Leaves on the stem are oppositely arranged, in pairs of 2–4, and 5–10 mm long. The stem grows to a maximum height near 15 cm (5.9 in).
