|discussion=<p>In the flora area, Gentianella auriculata is known only from Attu in the Aleutian Islands and St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Strait.</p><!--
--><p>The two larger calyx lobes of Gentianella auriculata are abruptly narrowed at the base, which therefore appears cordate or more or less auriculate, hence the specific epithet.</p><!--
--><p>Gentianella auriculata is the only species of Gentianella, as the genus is circumscribed here, reported to have a chromosome number other than a multiple of 9. Although its 2n = 48 might suggest a closer relationship to Comastoma and Lomatogonium, molecular studies indicate that this species is appropriately included in Gentianella (K. B. von Hagen and J. W. Kadereit 2001).</p>
