Taxonomy
editBroadly transcribed, Gentianopsis crinita (Froel.) Ma is an eastern North American species complex, containing a group of closely related taxa, including G. virgata. Further species were described in the past, but a lack of difference in nrDNA and morphology does not support their recognition.[4] Three subspecies are currently recognized:[5]
- Gentianopsis virgata (Raf.) Holub subsp. virgata
- Gentianopsis virgata subsp. victorinii (Fernald) Lammers
- Gentianopsis virgata subsp. macounii (Holm) J.S. Pringle
