Gentiana villosa
''Gentiana villosa'', the striped gentian or Sampson's snakeroot, is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the genus ''Gentiana''. It is found mainly in the Eastern United States and is used medicinally by Native American tribes.
==Description==
''Gentiana villosa'' can reach a height of two feet. The leaves are lanceolet but are typically wider above the middle of the leaf. The leaves are dark green and shiny. The flowers are clustered at the terminal bud of the plant and are white with purple stripes. ''G. villosa'' typically blooms during the fall in late August to October.〔(North Carolina Native Plants Society - Native Plants Gallery - Gentiana villosa - Striped Gentian )〕 The flowers are pollinated by insects that are attracted to their purple stripes and nectar. ''G. villosa'' fruits during October to November. The seeds of ''G. villosa'' differ from other Gentians because they are wingless.〔(PLANTS Profile for Gentiana villosa (striped gentian) | USDA PLANTS )〕
It is believed that ''G. villosa'' was misnamed because "villosa" translated in Latin means “hairy” and ''G. villosa'' actually has no hair which is known as glabrous.〔(Nearctica - Eastern Wildflowers - Gentianaceae - Striped Gentian (Gentiana villosa) )〕 The flowers of ''G. villosa'' make this plant easy to identify because of their defined purple stripes.
