SEGREGATES OF VIOLA CANADENSIS. 25 
a stoutish ascending rootstock bearing many coarse-fibrous dark 
roots: leaves from subcordate-reniform to exactly cordate and 
rather abruptly though not shortly acuminate, the very upper- 
most often ovate with a more gradual acumination, all thin, 
glabrous beneath, obscurely and very sparsely short-hairy above 
and mostly along the veins; stipules thin, scarious, obliquely 
lanceolate, acuminate: pedicels in the axils of nearly all the 
cauline leaves, often hirtellous above under the flower: sepals 
narrowly linear-lanceolate, not auriculate at base, scarcely even 
gibbous: petals all changing to purple when dry: capsules 
puberulent (the ovary even hoary). 
This plant, as being so nearly glabrous that Linneus would 
have let it pass for glabrous, is probably about what that author 
had for his type of the species. But there is another and more 
northerly plant, with herbage of lighter hue, leaves pubescent, 
at least along the veins, on both faces, flowers rather smaller, 
and even the sepals pubescent marginally, which may be a more 
genuine V. Canadensis; perhaps not specifically distinct from 
what I have described above. In view, however, of all the un- 
certainties, I would suggest that, in case the Linnean type 
Specimens, which he had from Kalm, should be matched by the 
northern pubescent plant, and the more southerly one prove 
distinct, I would provide for the plant here described the name 
V. EURYBI@FOLIA, with a specimen in my herbarium, collected by 
Mr. Tidestrom in Sullivan Co., N. Y., in 1897, for the type; 
other specimens from Utica, by Dr. Haberer, and from Little 
Falls, by Rey. Fr. Puissant, agreeing essentially. 
I can not distinguish from the New York plant, that which 
occurs in the southern mountain districts, namely, of Carolina, 
at least, of the seaward slope of the country. I note, however, 
that Nuttall had, from Alabama, long ago, what he designated 
as a V. Canadensis, var. corymbosa, characterized by five or six 
flowers corymbosely fastigiate at the summit of the stem. „But 
just such a clustering of the flowers I observe in certain speci- 
mens from central New York, collected by Father Puissant, and 
by Dr. Haberer ; and these flowers are either apetalous or with
