 tira rostrato, capitato. 



Scapis rubicuridis angulosis, longitudine foliorum. Stipulis 

 oppositis subulatis supra medium sitis. 



Capsulis glabris. Radice obllqua, fasciculosa, subsqua-

No doubt tbis is a very good species, although allied both 

 to the former and the following one. It is the most com- 

 mon white Viola here and is found in wet meadows, ditches, 

 and wet grassy spots in the woods, in April. The flowers 

 are very odoriferous and uncommonly small in proportion to 

 to the leaves, which often grow to an enormous size ; exact- 

 ly resembling those of Primula. The Aecidium Viola eis riot 

 uncommon on this species.

 depresso, acute marginato, recurvato. 



Scapis fihformibus, saepe decumbentibus. Slipidis subu- 

 latis in medio. Capsidis glabris. Radice fasciculosa. 



I find this kind exclusively with us on mountain brooks 

 and shady wet rocks ; the leaves are generally spread flat 

 on the ground and vary from a very small size, to a consid- 

 erable one. They are always of a light yellowish green col- 

 or and very thin consistence, resembling a good deal those 

 of clandestina. Their number is generally small and distant. 

 It has a handsome, delicate, small flower, remarkably fine 

 scented. Flowers in April and May.
