Viola blanda Willd. 

 Sweet white violet 

 Moist or wet ground in fields, swamps and ditches. Very common. 

 June. 



V. blanda amoena (LeConte) B. S. P. 

 V. blanda var. palustrtformis Gray 

 This variety has the leaves larger than in the typical form and they 

 are generally more or less rugose and hairy. The flowers also are larger 

 and supported on longer peduncles. 



Viola rotundifolia Mx. 



Round leaved violet 



Woods and open places. Adirondack lodge road. May. The leaves 

 are small at flowering time but they become large with age. 



Viola Labradorica Schrank 

 V. canina var. Muhlenbergii Gray 

 American dog violet 

 Pastures and clearings. Common. June. The long spur violet, 

 V. rostrata Pursh, which is often associated with this species in other 

 places was not detected here. 



Viola arenaria DC 

 Sand violet 



Sandy soil. Pastures and clearings. June. Distinguished from the 

 preceding species, to which it is closely related, by its puberulence and 

 its comparatively longer and more tapering spur. 



Viola scabriuscula (T. 6° G.) Schw. 



V. pubescens var. scabriuscula T. & G. 



Smoothish yellow violet 



Rich soil in woods. Rare. Adirondack lodge road. June. The 

 pubescent yellow violet, V. pubescens Ait., of which this species has been 

 considered a variety, affords another example of an absent species which 

 might be expected to occur here. It often grows in the same places as 

 the smoothish yellow violet. 



Viola Canadensis L. 



Canada violet 



Rare. It just enters the town at the head of Cascade lake. Its petals 

 sometimes assume a purplish hue when old.
