Gentianaceae, known as the gentian family, is a family of flowering plants consisting of around 1,600 species. These plants are predominantly herbs and are found worldwide, with a concentration in alpine habitats. The family includes gentians and centauries, which are characterized by their opposite leaves and large, usually blue or white, trumpet-shaped flowers. Many Gentianaceae species are used in traditional medicine and as ornamental plants due to their strikingly vibrant flowers.
