This unidentified gentian, with certainty, shares with Gentiana verna its compact basal rosette habit, its shiny dark green oval leaves, and its solitary flowers standing on short stems, 5 to 10 cm tall. It is distinctly different by the color of its flowers: lilac-mauve to pale violet, with a whitish throat, where G. verna displays its characteristic cerulean blue. The flower buds, of a deeper violet, contrast beautifully with the open flowers. The corolla lobes are well-spread, wide and rounded.
In its natural habitat, its blooming likely extends from March to June depending on altitude, similar to the spring gentians to which it probably belongs. In cultivation, it blooms in spring, from April to May.
The cultivation conditions are those of spring gentians in general: well-drained, humus-rich soil, in full sun, with regular moisture without excess. Any further identification of this plant would be welcome.
