Broad Petaled Gentiana (Gentiana platypetala)
came across this beautiful little flower in the high alpine of southeast Alaska today and have never seen one before, It appears to be a member of the Gentiana family, most closely resembling Gentiana Verna, which my researching shows to be native to Europe, mainly the British Isles. Finally have this identified as broad petaled gentiana!
