590 BRAINERD: VIOLA PALMATA AND ITS ALLIES 
The seven species of the palmaia group that have only uncut 
leaves call for no special discussion in the present paper, as most 
of them have been considered elsewhere.* But I wish to record 
an interesting extension of range for Viola latiuscula. Mr. B. H. 
Slavin, of the Park Department of the city of Rochester, has found 
the species widely distributed in western New York; it has 
turned up not only at several stations in the vicinity of 
Rochester, but in three other counties—at Portage, Falconer, and 
Olean, and even across the state line at Bradford, Pennsylvania. 
The general conclusions of the present discussion may be pre- 
sented in the following
