The well-known "Johnny-jump-up" of the country. Abundant 

 in various places, especially where moist. Commonly blue but 

 variable in color, sometimes entirely white, sometimes white with 

 a purple or blue eye, and sometimes curiously mottled and blotched. 

 Found most abundantly on the east side of the lake. .Noted abund- 

 antly in flower April 30, 1901. It has a second flowering season 

 late in autumn. In flower plentifully along the railroad October 

 27 and 28, 1906.

Rather common in flat ground about the lake, especially south-

533. SWEET WHITE VIOLET 



VIOLA BLANDA Willd. 



Rather common, but not abundant, in low flat places, such as 

 Green's marsh and the low flat fields west of the grist-mill, and in 

 woodland ponds east of the lake among moss. One of its favorite 

 habitats is on the moss growing on submerged logs in ponds. It 

 prefers constantly saturated ground. The daintiest and smallest 

 of our violets, with a delightful fragrance. Blossoms in April and 

 May, most abundantly in May. It also blossoms again somewhat 

 sparsely, in autumn. Some were found in blossom along the Out- 

 let, opposite Zechiel's, September 29, 1907.

VIOLA LANCEOLATA L. 



Quite abundant on both sides of the railroad southwest of the 

 lake, and near Walley's where the ground was saturated. Com- 

 mon also at the edge of the marshes surrounding Lost Lake. Fre- 

 quently growing at the bases of low willows at the edges of swamps. 

 In flower from the beginning to the end of May, probably longer.
