      Gentiana

      Gentiana, also known as the Gentian plant, has an interesting story to tell. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a wise medicine man who brewed a mysterious elixir using Gentiana flowers. This elixir had the power to heal any ailment. One day, a mischievous squirrel stole a bottle of elixir and scattered the Gentiana seeds all around. To everyone’s surprise, these seeds grew into beautiful blue flowers, which were believed to have magical healing properties. Since then, Gentiana has been cherished for both its beauty and medicinal value, reminding us of the wonders that nature holds within.

      Description

      Bontebok head
      The bontebok is a tall, medium-sized antelope. They typically stand 80 to 100 cm (31 to 39 in) high at the shoulder and measure 120 to 210 cm (47 to 83 in) along the head and body. The tail can range from 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in). Body mass can vary from 50 to 155 kg (110 to 342 lb). Males are slightly larger and noticeably heavier than females. The bontebok is a chocolate brown colour, with a white underside and a white stripe from the forehead to the tip of the nose, although there is a brown stripe across the white near the eyes in most blesbok. The bontebok also has a distinctive white patch around its tail (hence the Latin name), while this patch is light brown/tan in the blesbok. The horns of the bontebok are lyre-shaped and clearly ringed. They are found in both sexes and can reach a length of half a metre.
