SEGREGATES OF VIOLA CANADENSIS. ET 
equalling the leaves: sepals broader and shorter than in V. Cana- 
densis and with distinct though small and entire auricles; petals 
rather small, otherwise much as in V. Canadensis. 
Species peculiarly simulating V. pubescens in both habit and 
foliage as well as pubescence; and known to me only in speci- 
mens distributed by Mr. Sandberg, from “rich woods in Hen- 
nepin Co., Minnesota, June, 1891.” 
V. Ryppereit. Of the size of V. gepulosa but of laxer habit 
like that of V. Canadensis, the leaves also thin and not negu- 
lose, their veins and veinlets notably whitish, and, on the upper 
face scabro-hispidulous, but underneath decidedly hirsutulous, 
with shorter hairs scattered over the whole surface, but the 
stems glabrous; the broad leaves from subreniform in the 
lowest, to ovate-lanceolate in the uppermost, all more or less 
truly acuminate, the largest more than 3 inches broad: pedicels 
mostly 3 or 4; sepals narrowly lanceolate, not acuminate, not 
obscurely auricled: corollas much asin V. Canadensis though 
notably broader in proportion to their length. 
This is the so-called V. Canadensis of the more northerly 
Rocky Mountains. Mr. Rydberg’s n. 2726, is a good type speci- 
men, as is also n. 4354 of Rydberg and Bessey, both from Mon- 
tana. Scarcely different, though of somewhat firmer foliage, is 
a sheet obtained by myself at Dale Creek, Wyoming, 30 June, 
1896; and Mr. Nelson of Laramie has distributed it from several 
other stations in Wyoming; while from near Fort Collins, in 
northern Colorado, very fine specimens were distributed by Mr. 
C. F. Baker in 1896. The rootstock here is apparently longer 
by far, and more slender than in V. Canadensis. 
V. SCOPULORUM. V. Canadensis, var. scopulorum, Gray, Bot. 
Gaz. xi, 291. Tufted and somewhat depressed stems only 3 or 
+ inches high at petaliferous flowering, the numerous pe- 
duncles far surpassing the small subcordate-deltoid leaves, these 
little more than 3 inch long, wholly glabrous, merely acute; 
those of later specimens twice as large, and, us to the upper 
portion of the plant more strictly deltoid but very gradually
