O e n t i a n a , Linn. After Gentius, king of Illyria,
^vllo first experienced the virtues of tlie
plant. Linn, 5, Or. 2, Fat. Or. Geniianacece.
This is an extremely beantiful genus of plants;
most of the herbaceous kinds grow well in a
rich light soil, but some require to be grown
in peat; indeed, all will grow much stronger
in it. Some of the species should be grown in
pots, and placed among alpine plants, and protected
in winter ; some of them may be increased
by divisions. ' The annual and biennial
kinds may be sown in a dry sandy situation,
in the o])en border ; but the seeds must be sown
as soon as ripe, for if left till spring before
thev are sown, they will not, very probably,
come up till the second year. The stems and
roots of most of the species, especially G. Ama~
rélla, cam2)éstris, cmciàta^ lûtea, and puijnirca
are tonic, stomachic, and febrifugal. Synonymes:

terminating the carpels. Linn. 16, Or. 6, Nat.
Or. Geraniàccce. Some species of this extensive
genus produce very handsome flowers,
while others are mere weeds. The greenhouse
G E R

mixed with vegetable soil, and arc easily increased
from cuttings or seeds. The hardy
kinds do well in the open border ; G, argénteuvi,
however, requires to be protected in
winter: they ripen seeds freely, from which
they may be increased. The annual kinds
merely require to be sown in the open border.
