Gentiana marginata and Gentiana carinata are supposed to be very similar. However, while Gentiana carinata flowers are dark blue, Gentiana marginata flowers are supposed to be bright to pale blue. Also Gentiana marginata is supposed to have prominently outcurved sepals. I could not see any evidence of that in Satish's picture, although sepals are not clearly visible in the picture. These are the reasons I think this is Gentiana carinata. I would be happy to be corrected on this. - Tabish
