NEW OR NOTEWORTHY VIOLETS. 317 
Related to V. Howellii, but differing essentially in its nar- 
row foliage, not cordate at base, serrated stipules, and its 
twice larger corollas, the spur of which is relatively much 
longer. 
V. pELTOIDEA. Slender, 5 to 10 inches high, rather ob- 
securely puberulent under a lens, mostly with a solitary very 
long-petioled radical leaf, of broadly cordate-ovate outline, . 
with broad open sinus and evenly crenate; flowering stem 
naked up to the summit, there bearing two or three deltoid 
leaves, these nearly truncate at base, crenate on the mar- . 
gins, the apex sometimes abruptly acuminate and entire: 
stipules small, thin, ovate-lanceolate, entire or toothed: 
flowers 2 or 8, their filiform pedicels about equalling the 
leaves to which they are axillary, notably bibracteate above 
the middle, the bracts ligulate or even oblanceolate: corolla 
2 inch broad, light yellow, the petals broad and obtuse: 
sepals narrow, ciliolate. 
In open woods, near Waldo, Oregon, collected by Mr. 
Howell in April, 1887 and 1892; on a too superficial inspec- 
tion by me referred to V. Brooksii, but very distinct, and per- 
haps local. But for its deltoid foliage and manifest though 
fine sparse indument it would have been confused with V. 
glabella. 
V.DACTYLIFERA. Very slender, about a foot high, finely 
pubescent, the pubescence of stem and petioles retrorse: 
radical leaf not known: stem naked below, leafy and flo- 
riferous only above the middle: stipules 4 to ? inch long, 
lanceolate, deeply laciniate below, the upper half being a 
long narrow entire segment: leaves of pedate outline, 2 
inches broad, 14 inches long, deeply parted or almost divided 
into 5 to 9 oblong-linear obtuse or acutish segments: filiform 
peduncles not equalling the leaves, bibracteolate rather near 
the flower, the bractlets subulate-linear, spreading: sepals 
1-nerved, puberulent and ciliolate: corolla small, the rather
