Doubtful Species. 



One specimen of a remarkable violet was sent from British Columbia, 

 by J. A. Hill of the C. P. E. staff, which may po.ssibly be the rare V. 

 hiflora. Not being able to find a description of this species, I am unable 

 to identify it satisfactorily. 



Description. — Stems apparently two-flowered; flowers yellow or 

 cream color ; leaves short, tapering into the petiole which is winged, 

 scabrous on both sides, but especially on the prominent veins ; margins 

 crenate, slightly scabrous ciliate ; stipules membraneous, acute, slightly 

 ciliate at the tip ; sepals white margined and ciliate.
