Gentiana Cruciata Subsp. Phlogifolia

Gentiana cruciata subsp. phlogifolia is a rare and striking plant native to the alpine regions of Europe. It is known for its vibrant blue flowers that bloom in late summer. This subspecies is closely related to the more common gentian but possesses unique characteristics that set it apart. It thrives in rocky, high-altitude environments where few plants can survive. Due to habitat loss, it is now considered endangered and requires conservation efforts to ensure its survival.
