good questionI think these Gentiana species can be confusing colour shifters. In Karwendel mountains I once found a Gentiana punctata with a yellow base and a very deep red blossom - never seen that before or afterwards.

Re: good questionMe neither - I thought the Gentiana punctata was supposed to be yellow. Maybe the one that you saw is a cross between the G. punctata and G. purpurea?

Re: good questionYes, G. punctata is yellow; I saw a whole meadow full of those this year at Klausenpass / Switzerland. The "red punctata" can be a hybrid - why not?
