This inhabits the sands and sea-shores of the Falkland Is- 
lands, and, probably, similar localities in the Straits of Magellan 
and in Chili. The name is very inappropriate; the minute 
dots on the underside of the leaves which gave origin to it being 
almost microscopic, and not always present. The flowers are 
yellow, and no doubt can exist of the plant being the “Viola 
lutea, foliis non acutis,” (for the leaves are frequently obtuse,)
