It is a very dwarf, woolly plant, grow- ing one to three inches high, and bearing small white flowers. The pretty stemless gentian (Gentiana acaulis) is an alpine plant, one to three inches high. It forms a mass of leathery leaves, and bears in early May flowers of a vase form, two inches long and bine in color, as no other flower but a gentian can be.
