Gentianella germanica, common name German gentian,[2][3] also known in the United Kingdom as the Chiltern gentian, is a flowering plant in the family Gentianaceae. It was chosen as the county flower of Buckinghamshire.[4] Within the UK, it is only native to the Chiltern Hills of southern England,[5] although its distribution in continental Europe is much wider, ranging from France to the Balkans.[1][6]
