Abstract excerpt
The Ciminalis section of Gentiana comprises seven species, two of them growing on siliceous substrates (G. alpina and G. acaulis), the other ones being calcareous taxa (G. clusii, G. angustifolia, G. ligustica, G. occidentalis and G. dinarica). A total of 515 individuals from 183 populations over the entire Ciminalis distribution range was analyzed using four chloroplast loci (trnH-psbA, matK, rpoB and rpoC1) and...
