TL;DR: Seed production in the perennial species was limited by high rates of flower predation, insufficient amounts of pollen reaching stigmas, an unusually late flowering period, and by the relatively small proportion of biomass allocated to reproduction.
Abstract: Reproductive characteristics of three sympatric species of Gentiana exhibiting perennial and non-perennial life histories were studied in alpine meadows of the White Mountains of California during three consecutive years. High fruit and seed set and the production of a relatively large number of seeds characterized the alpine biennials, Gentiana tenella and G. prostrata. In contrast, fruit and seed set were considerably reduced and yearly seed production was relatively low in the alpine perennial, G. newberryi. Successful seed production in the biennial species was a result of low rates of flower predation, self-pollination, and the allocation of a comparatively high proportion of biomass to reproductive structures. Seed production in the perennial species was limited by high rates of flower predation, insufficient amounts of pollen reaching stigmas, an unusually late flowering period, and by the relatively small proportion of biomass allocated to reproduction.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extract of Gentiana prostrata specifically antagonizes melanogenesis promoted through adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) increased by stress so as to have preventing and ameliorating effect on pigmentation symptoms by stress.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an external preparation for skin effective for preventing and ameliorating pigmentation symptoms by stress. SOLUTION: The external preparation for skin is effective for preventing and ameliorating pigmentation symptoms by stress by including an extract of Gentiana prostrata. The extract of Gentiana prostrata specifically antagonizes melanogenesis promoted through adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) increased by stress so as to have preventing and ameliorating effect on pigmentation symptoms by stress.

TL;DR: Huamansamana (nomenclature: Jacaranda copaia), Hercampuri, Gentiana prostrata, Gentia nitida or Gentiana alborosea (GNT), and Canchalagua as mentioned in this paper have an excellent anti-inflammatory property against skin inflammation.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antibacterial agent and an anti-inflammatory agent which are characterized by containing one or more extracts selected from Huamansamana (nomenclature: Jacaranda copaia), Hercampuri (nomenclature: Gentiana prostrata, Gentiana nitida or Gentiana alborosea) and Canchalagua (nomenclature: Sisyrinchium vaginatum). SOLUTION: The antibacterial agent and an anti-inflammatory agent are characterized by containing one or more extracts selected from Huamansamana (nomenclature: Jacaranda copaia), Hercampuri (nomenclature: Gentiana prostrata, Gentiana nitida or Gentiana alborosea) and Canchalagua (nomenclature: Sisyrinchium vaginatum). The extracts of Huamansamana (nomenclature: Jacaranda copaia), Hercampuri (nomenclature: Gentiana prostrata, Gentiana nitida or Gentiana alborosea) and Canchalagua (nomenclature: Sisyrinchium vaginatum) have an excellent antibacterial property against Staphylococcus aureus and further have an excellent anti-inflammatory property against skin inflammation.
