Is Judas ever de- picted wearing the color of the Heavens? The Gentian was named for King Gentius of Illyria, that eastern borderland of the Adriatic whose history spells romance right down to this hour. Gentius was something of a practicing physi- cian, and he made known the curative qualities of the root of the plant. Even today the essence of the Gentian is used in medicine.
