{{Inc| Viola hederacea, Labill. (Erpetion reniforme, Sweet. E. hederaceum, E. petiolare, and E. spathulatum, Don). Australian Violet. Tufted, and creeping by stolons, glabrous or pubescent: lvs. reniform or orbicular or spatulate, small, entire or toothed, usually not equaling the scapes: fls. small, usually blue, sometimes white, the spur almost none. Austral. G. 35:35.—Offered in S.Calif. }} '''''Viola hederacea''''', also known as the '''Australian violet''' is a species of [[Viola (plant)|violet]] which is native to [[Australia]]. It is common and widespread in [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] and [[Tasmania]], along the [[Great Dividing Range]] in [[New South Wales]] north at least to the [[Barrington Tops]] area, in the far south-east of [[South Australia]], and in a small area of the [[Adelaide Hills]] between [[Belair, South Australia|Belair]] and [[Mount Lofty]]. The [[flower]]s are usually rather pale and washed-out looking, the anterior petal (the one at the bottom of the flower when looking face on) is widest towards its apex, and the mature [[seed]]s are brown. Well-developed [[leaf|leaves]] of ''Viola hederacea'' are also distinctive – semicircular in outline, about as broad as long, and usually rather dark green above and paler beneath. True ''Viola hederacea'' is infrequently grown in gardens. It is a less spectacular plant than the cultivated species (''[[Viola banksii]]''), with a more open, less robust habit and less striking flowers. Nevertheless, it’s easy to cultivate. ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
