| Gentianella germanica (Willd.) E.F.Warb. [1] |
Gentianella germanica, known in the United Kingdom as the Chiltern gentian, is a flowering plant in the Gentianaceae (gentian family). It was chosen as the county flower of Buckinghamshire. Within the UK, it is only native to the Chiltern Hills of southern England [2], although its distribution on the Continent is much wider, ranging from France to the Balkans [1].
