Jane,

At least dahurica does, in fact refer to a place. Dahuria (Dauria, Davuria) is a region of south-east Siberia and north-east Mongolia, according to Stearn. 

I assume that "dinarica" comes from the Dinaric Alps in southern Europe.

I have been trying to find the meaning of these two species.  They are attached to the genus Gentiana.  I think they may be an old word for a place of origin.  Does anyone know what these two mean?
