Gentiana sp.

Could be Gentiana leucomelaena

Gentiana stipitata ?

This should be Gentiana leucomelaena, as … says. Compare with the pic, for instance.

I have slight doubts, though I may be wrong. Please check the leaves

I think the corolla of G. stipitata Edgew. (considered as synonym of G. cachemerica Dcne.) is longer tubular with small entire plicae.

G. leucomelaena Maxim. (syn: G. humilis Steven var. evolutior C. B. Clarke) has smaller flowers with grey shade and bluish dots, the plicae larger and irregularly lacinate as can be seen in above photographs.

I am uploading a few Gentiana species from Ladakh in my Herbarium record with the hope that It motivates … and … to shed their hesitation and participate in exploration trip to Ladakh any time between July 15 to August 15, in 2015 (As I would be in USA up to end of September this year). I assure them, and others who join, you will find a real treasure of plants there. I have herbarium specimens of these plants, and waiting to get live photographs.
