- Comments
- This species was named and described in 1964 but was lumped under the similar Gentiana clausa in all the hard-copy editions of the Atlas (1977-1992). Therefore, the current map may be incomplete and specimens with the name G. clausa at some herbaria need critical re-examination.
- Habitat
- Middle- to higher-elevation forests, including Northern Red Oak forests, northern hardwood forests, montane mixed oak and oak-hickory forests. Infrequent, mountains of the Central and Southern Blue Ridge and higher ridges of the sw. Ridge and Valley; apparently absent from far sw. Virginia.
- Native Status
- Native
