Gentiana alba (Pale gentian or White gentian or Cream gentian) is a herbaceous species of flowering plant in the Gentian family Gentianaceae, growing from thick white taproots. This species is much like Bottle Gentian (Gentiana andrewsii) except with an upright habit and yellowish-white colored flowers. Plants start to bloom a few weeks earlier than Bottle Gentian and the flowers are more open at the tops. Synonyms include Gentiana flavida A. Gray
