Gentianaceae, or the Gentian family, is a family of flowering plants of 87 genera and over 1500 species. Gentiana acaulis ( Stemless gentian) is a small Gentian native to central and southern Europe from Spain east to the Balkans Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Magnoliopsida is the Botanical name for a class of Flowering plants By definition the class will include the family Magnoliaceae, but its Asteridae is a Botanical name at the rank of subclass. Circumscription of the subclass has varied with the taxonomic system being Gentianales are an order of Flowering plants included within the Asterid group of Dicotyledons The circumscription of Gentiales in the Cronquist A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group [1]
Flowers are actinomorphic and bisexual with fused sepals and petals. A flower, also known as a bloom or Blossom, is the reproductive structure found in Flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also Floral symmetry refers to whether and how a Flower can be divided into two or more identical or mirror-image parts The stamens are attached to the inside of the petals (epipetalous) and alternate with the corolla lobes. The stamen ( Plural stamina or stamens, from Latin stamen meaning "thread of the warp " is the male There is a glandular disk at the base of the gynoecium, and flowers have parietal placentation. The inflorescence is cymose, with simple or complex cymes. An inflorescence is a group or cluster of Flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main Branch or a complicated arrangement of branches The fruits are dehiscent septicidal capsules splitting into two halves, rarely some species have a berry. The term fruit has different meanings dependent on context and the term is not synonymous in Food preparation and Biology. The word berry has two meanings one based on a botanical definition the other on common identification Seeds are small with copiously oily endosperms and a straight embryo. The habit varies from small trees, pachycaul shrubs to (usually) herbs, with ascending, erect or twining stems. A tree is a perennial Woody plant. It is most often defined as a woody plant that has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground on a single main stem or A shrub or Bush is a horticultural rather than strictly botanical category of Woody plant, distinguished from a Tree A(n herb (ˈhɝb or /ˈɝb/ see pronunciation differences) is a plant that is valued for qualities such as medicinal properties flavor scent or the like Plants are usually rhizomatous. Leaves opposite, less often alternate or in some species whorled, simple in shape, with entire edges and bases connately attached to the stem. Stipules are absent. Plants usually accumulate bitter iridoid substances; bicollateral bundles are present. Iridoids are a class of Secondary metabolites found in a wide variety of plants and in some animals Ecologically, partial myco-heterotrophy is common among species in this family. Myco-heterotrophy is a Symbiotic relationship between certain kinds of Plants and Fungi, in which the plant gets all or part of its food from
Distribution is cosmopolitan. In Biogeography, a Biological category of living things is said to have cosmopolitan distribution if this category can be found almost anywhere around the world The family consists of trees, shrubs and herbs showing a wide range of colours and floral patterns.
Economically, some species are cultivated ornamental plants and many species yield bitter principles used medicinally and in flavorings. Ornamental plants are typically grown in the flower Garden or as House plants Most commonly they are grown for the display of their Flowers Other common

Conservation
Some of these plants have limited ranges and are protected under governmental oversight. For example, Gentianella uliginosa (Dune Gentian), which occurs in some limited areas of Wales and Scotland, is a priority species under the Biodiversity Action Plan of the United Kingdom.
