Viola pubescens grows in shady woods among rocks, 



Particularly those of limestone, from New York to Virginia, 

 ntroduced in 1772 by Mr. William Young. Hardy. 



The present variety lias a densely woolly capsule, and 

 somewhat smaller stipules than (3, where the capsule is 

 without pubescence. Both are abundant about Phila- 

 delphia. 



Perennial caulescent. Leaves much furred or nearly 

 naked, slightly serrate. Stipules ovate, with their principal 

 part entire. Style compressed : stigma nearly globular with 

 two lateral pencils of pubescence, rostellate. 



The drawing was taken from an imported plant, which 

 flowered in May, at Mr. Fraser's nursery in Sloane Square.
