DowELL: THE VIOLETS OF STATEN ISLAND 177 
1883, Arthur Hollick (sheets 567, 562, and 572 in the herbarium 
of the Staten Island Association of Arts and Sciences) ; Woodrow, 
June 22, 1907, Wm. T. Davis. 
48. Viola pallens x primulifolia hyb. nov. 
Freely stoloniferous, pubescent on the peduncles and petioles, 
about 2 dm. tall. Leaf-blades pale beneath, ovate, acute or 
obtuse, subcordate to cordate, crenate with low incurved teeth, 
4-6 cm. long and 35-5 cm. wide in mature leaves, sometimes as 
wide as long, on petioles about three times as long. White flowers 
on long slender peduncles equaling or longer than the petioles ; 
capsules green, 5~8 mm. long; seeds small and dark, (PLATE 18.) 
The specimen shown in the plate was taken from my garden 
Sept. 22, 1908 (5596), after having been transplanted from South 
Avenue, July 25, 1907 (5059). This shows a marked resemblance 
to V. primulifolia, and would probably have been so labeled with- 
out closer study. It differs from this in its shorter, more ovate 
and cordate leaf-blades, and in its small dark seeds characteristic 
of V. pallens. Other specimens are: Bulls Head, Aug. 18, 1906 
(4576); Merrell Avenue, near South Avenue, Sept. 16, 1906 
(4627), and June 9, 1907 (4759); South New York No. 3 (Darcey’s 
woods), May 11, 1907 (4670), Aug. 14, 1907 (5086), and Oct. 2, 
1909 (6067); South Avenue near Arlington, June 9, 1907 (4764), 
and from transplanted material Sept. 29, 1907 (5250); woods 
between South Avenue and the fireworks factories at Bulls Head, 
Sept. 8, 1907 (5796); Bradley Avenue, Aug. 14, 1909 (5972). 
Here probably belong also: Watchogue, May 11, 1884, Arthur 
Hollick (sheet 553); Graniteville, July 16, 1898, Wm. T. Davis. 
49. Viola palmata x papilionacea Brainerd, in herb., hyb. nov. 
This differs from V. palmata in the direction of V. papilionacea 
by the more entire leaves, its scant pubescence, smaller flowers on 
shorter peduncles, while it resembles V. pa/mata in having irregu- 
lar shallow lobes on the leaves, the veins prominent, and being 
more or less pubescent. 
Specimens can not be assigned here with absolute certainty on 
account of the similarity in the fruit of V. palmata, V. papilionacea, 
V. sororia, and V. triloba, but I believe the following belong 
here: Ocean Terrace, May 23, 1903 (2727); Little Clove Road,
