| Gentianella propinqua (Richardson) J.M. Gillett | |
| Publ. & Syn. | J.M. Gillett, Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 44: 236 (1957). - Gentiana propinqua Richardson in Franklin, Narr. Journey Polar Sea (Bot. App.): 734 (1823). Described from northern Canada. - Arctogentia propinqua (Richardson) Á. Löve & D. Löve, Taxon 31: 352 (1982). - Aloitis propinqua (Richardson) Á. Löve & D. Löve, Taxon 34: 164 (1985). |
| Notes | The genus Arctogentia was erected by Löve and Löve (1982b) to include Gentianella aurea and G. propinqua. He later transferred these species to the more species-rich Aloitis Raf. 1836. Few authors have accepted these genera. The two proposed races of Gentianella propinqua differ morphologically in a few, distinct characters but are largely sympatric: subsp. arctophila is nearly confined within the range of subsp. propinqua. This is not an obvious case of subspecies as geographical races. |
| Chromosomes | 18 (2x). - Siberia (S), Canada, U.S.A. (W). - At least five reports, numerous counts. Not included: A report of 2n = 36 (4x) for G. acuta from "North America" (Löve 1954b, an untrustworthy paper). |
