Diolet jfamil^. 



Arrow-Leaved Violet. Viola sagittata. 



Upland Violet. 



Found in upland pastures in May. 



The leaves and flowers, from the roots, are set on very short stems. 



The leaf is arrow-shaped, with a blunt tip and slightly heart- 

 shaped base ; the margin is minutely notched, the upper surface, 

 particularly, is softly downy, and the color is green, with a slight 

 grayish bloom. The stem is flattened on its upper side and furnished 

 with narrow margins. 



The side-petals of the small flower are bearded, and the spur is 

 small ; the corolla is violet ; the stem is hairy. 



A small Violet, which grows close to the ground on high pastures, 

 and puts forth few demands upon our attention.
