ORDER 11. CAPPARIDACEE. 
Polanisia, Raf. 
P. graveolens, Raf. Long Branch. (I. H. Hail.) 
ORDER 18. VIOLAOCEH. VioLeT FAmIty. 
Solea, Ging, DC, 
S$. concolor, Ging. Hunterdon. (Porter.) 
Viola, L. (Violet—Heart’s-ease.) 
V. rotundifolia, Michx. Early leaves orbicular or reniform, later ones 
longer than broad, heart shaped, sparingly toothed, slightly crenate,~ 
1-2 inches wide, 2-4 long, stalks pubescent, about as long as the blade. 
Flowers pale yellow, middle-sized, side petals bearded, marked with 
dark lines, sometimes notched at the summit, stalks 1-3 inches Jong, 
generally smooth, occasionally pubescent. 
Found sparingly in the north-eastern parts of the State. Closter and 
Stanhope. (Auwstin.) Morristown. (Leggett.) W. (Porter.) 
V. lanceolata, L. (Lance-leaved Violet.) Quite smooth, lanceolate, 
tapering into a long petiole, obscurely toothed, or entire ; leaves generally 
a little longer than the scapes; 4-6 in. high—flowers white, inodorous, 
less. Common in damp meadows in .the eastern part of Mer. and north- 
ern parts of M. April to June. 
V. primulefolia, L. Smooth, varying from cordate, broad ovate, to 
lanceolate, tapering into a winged petiole, slightly repand or crenate ; 
when growing in dry places sparingly pubescent ; sepals lanceolate ; stig- 
ma beaked ; flowers white, striped with purple streaks, slightly odorous ; 
petals slightly bearded, especially the lateral ones. April to July. Wet 
meadows ; growing with V. lanceolata and V. blanda, and seems to be a 
connecting link between them. I have seen specimens that seemed to 
possess the characteristics of both. Dr. Beck suggests that it may be 
identical with V. lanceolata, but my observations do not lead me to that 
conclusion. I should sooner take it to be a variety of V. blanda; its 
flowers are odorous like V. blanda; its foliage more nearly approaches 
that of V. blanda than of V. lanceolata, 4-6 in. high. Scattered sparingly 
over the entire limits of the three counties, M., O., and Mer. 
V. blanda, Willd. Leaves cordate or sub-reniform, crenate or ‘sub- 
entire, early ones sub-orbicular, with the head of the sinus rounded. 
Flowers white, odorous, and small; sepals ovate; petals ovate, obtuse, 
striped with purple. Common, growing in damp grounds, April to 
June. 3-0 in. high. . 
V. cucullata, Ait. Glabrous leaves cordate, cuculate at the base, ser- 
rate ; toothed, distinctly nerved ; radical ones sometimes sub-reniform or 
broad cordate; frequently purple on the under sidé near the base. 
Flowers blue, large, sepals linear, lanceolate; upper petal smooth, the 
others bearded, lateral ones, obovate. Spur short and rounded. Com- 
mon throughout these limits, growing in wet grounds. March to July. 
6-12 in. high.
