Gentiana scabra (Japanese gentian) - 「竜胆」 in Japanese.
The gentian was the emblem of the Minamoto clan during the Heian period (794-1185). They actually never used formally as a kamon and when they fought against the Taira during the Gempei War, the Minamoto and their allies would use a plain white banner instead. After Minamoto no Yoritomo founded the Kamakura Shogunate (1185), he decided that the plain white banner would be for his exclusive use only, and ordered his vassals to add distinctive marks onto their own white banners. This precipitated the creation and the spread of kamon in Japan.
There are about 130 known variations of the Rindo emblem

The most commonly used Rindo emblem nowadays.
