This very fingular fpecies of Violet may be confidered as 

 ft ill very rare in this country, although cultivated fo long ago 

 as the year 1739, by Phil. Miller, in the Botanic Garden 

 at Chelfea. It is a native of Virginia, and bears the winters 

 of our climate very well. It has no fweet fcent to recommend 

 it, and is therefore not likely to he in great requeft, but by 

 fuch as are curious in collecting rare plants. 



Our figure was taken from a plant fent us by Mr. Lod- 

 didges, Nurferyman at Hackney. Its culture is the fame as 

 for Viola pedata (fee Bot. Mag. pi. 89J.
