Viola triloba Schweinitz 



This violet has been in the past so frequently confused with 

 \M o 1 a p a 1 m a t a , that the older published records aft'ord little 

 data of value regarding its distribution. Recent collections and the 

 material in the state herbarium indicate that it is common in most 

 parts of the State except the Adirondack region and the northern 

 counties. The following collections are represented in the state 

 herbarium: Rensselaer county: Lansingburg (C. H. Peck, June 

 5, 1905), Bald mountain (H. D. House, August 25, 1916). Albany 

 county: Wemple (H. D. House, June 9, 1917). Monroe county: 

 Mendon (H. D. House, July 5, 1917). Nassau county: Port Wash- 

 ington (H. D. House, May 20, 1916). 



Viola septentrionalis Greene 



A frequent violet in most parts of the State except the coastal 

 plain and especially abundant in woodlands of the Adirondack 

 region. Peck'^ reports it from Warrensburg, Warren county, and 

 Minerva, Essex county. He has also collected it at North Elba and 

 other places in the northern part of the State (state herbarium). 



Recent collections of this species from other parts of the State 

 are: Albany county: Kenwood ( Rubinger, May 1916). Herkimer 

 county: Cedar Lake (H. D. House, June 23, 1917). Madison 

 county: Onedia (H. D. House, May 15, 1915). Oneida county: 

 Taberg (H. D. House, June 7, 1916). Genesee county: Bergen 

 swamp (H. D. House, June 2, 1916). 



Viola labradorica Schrank 



A small subalpine and subarctic violet with leaves one-quarter to 

 three-quarters of an inch wide, linear stipules which are entire or 

 nearly so and small bright-blue flowers. A species formerly con- 

 fused with the common american dog violet (Viola m u h 1 e n- 

 b e rgi a Torr). 



Mossy hummocks in a cold sphagnum bog near the head of Fourth 

 lake, Hamilton county (H. D. House, June 26, 1917). Minerva, 

 Essex county (C' H. Peck, in state herbiarium). I would also 

 refer to this species with little hesitation specimens collected at 

 Randolph, Cattaraugus county, by William B. Limberger, May 

 1909 and distributed under the name of Viola cardamina- 

 f olia Greene. They are presumably cotypes of Greene's species 

 which was collected by Mr Limberger at Randolph.
