Abstract: 
Gentianaceae usually exhibit a double unilacunar nodal pattern. Upon leaving the lacun, the complex leaf trace divides first into 3 branches, and then into 5 or more bundles which become the leaf veins. Only Gentiana lutea (and G. punctata) as well as Menyanthes trifoliata differ from all other species investigated [G. asclepiadea, G. clusii, G. crassicaulis, G. cruciata, G. fetisowii, G. germanica, G. gracilipes, G. kochiana, G. kuroo, G. purpurea, G. saponaria, G. septemfida, G. siphonantha, G. tibetica, G. utriculosa and G. walujewii] by their multilacunar nodes. Both Centaurium [umbellatum] and Orphium [frutescens] within the cortex form a completely closed bundle ring around the nodal flanks from smaller bundles which depart from the lateral branches of the complex leaf traces.
