Caps, round and flat, notched at the top and the bottom. 

 Linn — In its general habit this plant very much resembles the 

 V* chamcedrys, but if the sitting leaves of the latter, and the 

 leaf-stalks of the former should not be thought sufficient to dis- 

 tinguish them, it may be further observed, that in the V. mon- 

 tana the leaves are reddish underneath, heart-shaped, but blunt ; 

 the stem and leaf-stalks hairy, and the flowers smaller. Bloss. 

 purplish, streaked. Its usual stations in moist woods and other 

 shady places, do not well accord with its trivial name montana.
