'''''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.
