|discussion=<p>The description by Kellogg of var. paulensis does not indicate clearly how this variety was believed to differ from Gentiana glauca elsewhere in its range. Specimens from the Pribilof Islands examined in studies for this flora, including an isotype and other plants from Saint Paul Island, do not appear to be taxonomically separable.</p>
