Gentiana pannonica
Also called Pannonian Gentian, Danube Gentian
Hungarian gentian (Gentiana pannonica) is a perennial wildflower of Central European mountain meadows and woodland edges, grown mainly for its large purple-brown flowers. It is a wild, protected-status plant, so it is best grown from nursery-raised stock rather than collected from the wild.
Gentiana pannonica, the Hungarian gentian or brown gentian, is a species of flowering plant in the family Gentianaceae.
The Hungarian gentian is an old medicinal herb and is used like the yellow gentian. Because it was intensively used in former times, its stocks shrank to just small residual populations. As a result, the IUCN placed it in the "near threatened" category. For the conservation of this species habitat management plans were created or adjusted.
