| Note | Many non-Japanese authors regard Gentiana scabra Bunge var. buergeri (Miquel) Maximovicz ex Franchet & Savatier and other similar local variations as a synonym of Gentiana scabra Bunge. However most Japanese authors don't agree with such opinion at all. I think that this discussion should be resolved by DNA analyasis of related species. |
