With the exception of the different shape of the leaves, this seems scarcely different from V. Nuttallii, 
Ph. and Hook. FI. Bor. Am. 1. p. 79. t. 26 ; and we had marked it as a broad leaved var. of that species, till 
we saw our friends Messrs Torrey and Gray had described it as a new species ; whose opinion, in this case, 
we are willing to adopt. The flowers are large, handsome, golden colour. 
4. V. chrysaniha ; subacaulis, stigmate capitato utrinque subpiloso, foliis bipinnatifidis 
junioribus hirsutis laciniis linearibus integris v. subpinnatifidis, stipulis ovato-lanceolatis 
membranaceis integris, pedunculo elongate, sepalis lanceolatis ciliatis, petalis obovatis 
subuniformibus, calcare brevissimo. Hook. Ic. PI. t. 49. Torr. et Gr. FI. \.p. 143. 
One of the most distinct of all the species of this extensive genus. The root, if it may be so called, seems 
to be a congeries of subterranean filiform stems, agglutinated together ; the portion of the stem above 
ground being very short. Leaves bi- sometimes even tripinnatifid, very unlike those of any other Viola. 
Flowers large, golden yellow, the tw'o upper petals with a brown cloud on the outside, the lower with a very 
short spur, and a few dark lines above the base. Anthers slightly combined. 
5. V. ocellata ; glabra, stigmate globoso-clavato, caulibus erectis elongatis gracilibus, 
foliis longe petiolatis cordato-subacuminatis crenatis, stipulis lanceolatis ciliatis, pedun- 
culis folio brevioribus, sepalis linearibus, petalis obovatis basi attenuatis lateralibus supra 
basin barbatis, calcare brevissimo Torr. et Gr. Fl. l.p. 142. 
Too near, I am afraid, to V. Canadensis. It is, however, a glabrous plant, very slender. The leaves 
are narrower, the flowers smaller, the upper petals deep purple, the two lateral ones with a purplish spot 
above the beard, the rest of the flower nearly white.
