A range-wide study of the Greater fringed gentian
#

The Agrawal and Benning labs at Cornell University are collecting leaf tissue from Gentianopsis crinita populations across eastern North America, thanks to invaluable help from botanists, land managers and naturalists across the species’ range.

Corolla face-on, showing the fringed lobes the species is named for. Whole plants against the sky, with goldenrod alongside. A patch in habitat — several plants scattered through the vegetation. A bumblebee working an open flower.
