Gentiana autumnalis

Gentiana autumnalis, the pine barren gentian, is a 1–2 ft (30–61 cm) tall flowering plant in the Gentianaceae family. It is native to eastern North America coastal pinebarrens from New Jersey to South Carolina.[2][3] Fire suppression, invasive weeds, and the altering of natural water flows all pose threats to rare native populations of G. autumnalis.[4][5][6]
