   • 1892, Grant Allen, Science in Arcady‎^[1]:

     Great belts of blue gentian hang like a zone on the mountain slopes; masses of yellow globe-flower star the upland pastures; nodding heads of soldanella lurk low among the rugged boulders by the glacier's side.

   • 1924, Katharine Symonds Furse, Ski-running‎^[2]:

     Some of my own best Ski-ing days have been late in March when the crocuses and gentians were already opening to the sun on the Southern slopes, and a soldanella might be found along some tiny stream.
