Description

Gentiana newberryi is a small perennial herb growing short stems which lie against the ground or snake through the grass.

The curving leaves are lance-shaped to spoon-shaped. The foliage is green and may have purple coloration along the edges and tips.

Flowers are solitary or come in inflorescences of up to five. Each flower is trumpet-shaped and up to 5 or 6 centimeters long, and 3 centimeters wide at the mouth. The lobes of the flower corolla have rounded to slightly pointed tips. Between each of the five lobes is a sinus appendage which comes to a very sharp point and twists into a thread. The outer surface of the mainly white flower is sharply striped with light to deep blue.[2] The inner surface may be lightly striped with greenish or yellowish coloration, and freckled with a similar color.

The fruit is a capsule containing winged seeds.
