. Our early wild flowers [microform] : a study of the herbaceous plants blooming in early spring in the northern states and Canada. Wild flowers; Botany; Fleurs sauvages; Botanique. VIOLET FAMILY kidney-sha[iccl or broad heart-shaped, crcnatc at mar- gin, and edged with hairs. The books differ widely in regard to the Dog-Violet; some consider its varied forms as spjcies, others regard them merely as varieties. At any rate, this is one of our early Violets and most welcome. It is often confused with the Common Blue, but may be distinguished by the fact that the flowers grow from short, leafy stems, while the Common Blue flowers are stemless, the peduncles apparently spring- ing from the ground, just as the leaves. The blossom comes a little earlier and is a little smaller. The white form is often abundant locally but cannot be considered common. i!. LONG-SPURRED VIOLET Viola rostrala rcrcnnial, having stems, flowers pale violet. Shaded hillsides and rocky woods. Quebec to INIichigan, south in the mountains to Georgia. Frequent in northern Ohio. April, ^lay. Stems.—Numerous, erect, three to six inches high. Leaves.—Smooth, cordatc-ovatc or reniform, acuminate, serrate; petioles slender. Flowers.—Pale violet, darker veined, beardless; sepals linear-lanceolate. Spur long, slender. The Long-Spurred Violet may be easily distinguished by its pale violet color, its striped petals, and its long, slender spur. Although the books give it a rather limited habitat, it may be considered fairly abundant in northern Ohio, although rarely found in beds. i6o.
