Viola papilionacea, Pursh (V. cucullata of older Manuals). Figs. 3935-6, 3942. Commonest and most variable violet in the N. E. U. S. A robust plant, with a strong branching horizontal rootstalk, 3-6 in. high: lvs. deltoid-ovate to cordate-ovate, not lobed, bluntish, serrate, the long petiole somewhat pubescent: fls. normally deep violet but white or greenish yellow in the center; outer sepals ovate-lanceolate; petals narrow; spurred petal often narrow and boat-shaped; cleistogamous fls. usually underground but caps. erect. V. Priceana, Pollard, is probably a form of this, with white blue-centered fls. Ky. See remarks on p. 3473. —Besides albinos there are striped and pied forms now in the trade known as vars. striata, picta, and variegata, Hort. All forms are easily colonized in the garden. G.M.57:313. G.3:323 (both as V. cucullata). Gt.l:194.
