Gentiana calycosa

The most common and abundant gentian species in the Teton area from open parkland in montane forests to subalpine and alpine rocky slopes. The deep blue corolla with conspicuous folds (plaits) between lobes and solitary flowers terminating flowering stems are diagnostic of this species. This site is south of Marion Lake and lies along the Game Creek trail as it crests upon the benches on the south side of Housetop Mountain in the Teton Range.
