Viola oconensis x sagittata hyb. nov. 



The early leaves with deltoid-ovate blades similar to those of 

 V. eviarginata, the later leaf-blades lanceolate-oblong, showing at 

 the base both cucullate and sagittate characters ; slight traces of 

 pubescence often found on the upper leaf surfaces and peduncles : 

 the flowers large, 2-3 cm. broad and purplish-blue; petaliferous 

 flowers apparently not developing capsules, the peduncles wither- 

 ing soon after flowering : cleistogamous flowers numerous but 

 their capsules small and abortive. 



Low meadows, bordering swamps in which occurs Viola 

 oconensis ; near Pendleton (but in Oconee Co.) South Carolina,

The extent of my field studies thus far shows that this region 

 is no exception to those localities already studied by the writer

 Many forms are under observation and the hybrids thus far 

 detected are as follows : 

 Viola cniarginata X sagittata Brainerd, Rhodora 8: 58. 1906.
