is a more fertile reduced state of P. hederacea, with which it agrees so closely in foliage that small specimens of he- 
deracea can with difficulty be distinguished from it except by the above characters and its solitary, non-stoloniferous 
habit. The small, more fertile, and short-pedicelled flowers of the European species occur, I believe, on the same 
plant with the larger, less fertile, long-pedicelled flowers; and if the Tasmanian Viola hederacea presents analogous 
differences in its flowers to the European, it is the more remarkable case, for its small and large flowers are 
always on different plants. 
Mr. Gunn, who sends the small form from granite soil, St. Patrick’s River, elevation 2000 feet, believes that 
it is not a distinct species, though it grows singly and does not form the large masses that Y. hederacea does in 
its usual form. Archer, who does consider it distinct, collected it at Cheshunt and on the Western Mountains. 1 
have it also from Victoria, collected by Robertson. 
3. Viola Cunninghamii, B radicata (Hook. fil. Flor. N. Zeal. i. p. 16); cespitosa, vix stolonifera, 
glaberrima ; foliis late ovatis obtusissimis crenatis basi subcordatis, petiolo apice dilatato, stipulis lanceo- 
lato-subulatis remote dentatis, bracteolis parvis, sepalis oblongo-lanceolatis, petalis subspathulatis lateralibus 
obscure barbatis postico emarginato, calcare brevi.

This resembles a good deal the small plant I have just described under Y. hederacea, especially in habit, but 
is more tufted, has the leaves longer in proportion to their breadth, less rounded or reniform, and has not the 
waved tooth-margins of F. hederacea, but distinct, broad crenatures ; the long stout peduncle, broader sepals, and 
scarcely bearded petals further distinguish it well.—Whole plant glabrous, 2-4 inches high. AAizome slender, 
perpendicular or creeping. Stems extremely short; stolones none. Leaves pale-green, 3-1 inch long, ovate, with 
rounded apices and crenate margins, always longer than broad, sometimes cordate at the base, never deeply as in 
V. Caleyana, nor with the broad shallow sinus of Y. hederacea. Flowers pale, ¿4 inch across. Sepals broader 
and shorter than in J. hederacea ; the petals very similar to those of that plant, as are the capsules and seeds. 
4. Viola Caleyana (Don, Syst. Gard. i. p. 329) ; caulescens v. stolonifera, glaberrima; foliis profunde 
cordatis obtusis crenato-serratis, stipulis bracteolisque foliaceis oblongis obtusiusculis, sepalis falcato-lanceo- 
latis acuminatis, petalis glabris postico apice bilobo lateralibus glabris oblongo-spathulatis, calcare brevi 
late saccato.

A very variable species, quite distinct from any of the former, and easily recognized by the larger stipules and 
bracteoles, deeply cordate leaf, and bilobed spurred petal.—Rhizome short, very fibrous. Stems or branches 1-10 
inches long, tufted or lax and trailing. Petioles slender. Leaves 4-14 inch long, very variable in breadth ; in the 
Tllawarra specimen the cordate bases are so laterally produced that the leaf is broadly triangular and twice " broad 
as long. Peduncles slender. Flowers ¿4 inch diam. Sepals all produced at the base. Lateral petals minutely 
bearded. Anthers as in its Tasmanian congeners. Stigma truncate and minutely toothed. Capsule and seeds as 
in Y. hederacea.—Don puts this in his section Dischidium, characterized by the bifid stigma and acaulescent habit, 
but describes the species as caulescent, and the stigma as unknown. I do not on the dried specimens observe the 
spots he describes on the stem.
