 of hairs up and down the furrowed inner side : leaves small 

 for the group, and thin, deep-green above, the veins there 

 scaberulous, lower face paler, hirtellous-hairy either on the 

 veins only or also between them ; stipules obliquely oblong 

 and lance-oblong, obscurely serrate- toothed : peduncles 2 or 3,

Viola Huronensis. Tufted stems of the season upright, 

 3 inches high at petaliferous flowering, arising from the 

 branches of a short caudex crowning the tap root ; all the 

 herbage excepting the lower face of the mature leaves, rather 

 densely hirtellous-puberulent, this indument more conspicuous 

 on stem and stalklets, also obviously retrorse : stipules linear 

 as to the body, but with 3 or 4 subulate spreading lobes : leaves 

 many, small, the blades seldom more than Y^ inch long, 

 broadly subcordate-ovate, obtusish, some nearly truncate at 

 base, all abruptly joined to the long slender petiole, at apex 

 obtuse, or at least not acute : flowers borne scarcely above the 

 leaves, on slender peduncles bibracteolate not far below the 

 calyx, the bractlets linear, intensely green-herbaceous, entire ; 

 sepals long, lance linear, acute ; corolla blue, Y^ inch long, 

 but narrow, the spread of the subequal petals not great ; spur 

 very long, straight except at the obliquely acute and some- 

 what falcate end.
