NOTE: Nov 22, 2013 – R. John Little, Ph.D., noted expert on Violaceae, has identified this as Viola purpurea subsp. venosa rather than Viola praemorsa. — gcw
Upland Yellow Violet – Viola praemorsa
Also NPOD 06/13/2012
Based on the shapes of leaves for plants labeled as Viola praemorsa, it appears these are Viola purpurea subsp. venosa, a species is also known to occur in ID.
Thank you, Dr. Little, for this update and the followup discussion we had concerning these species. I’ll be updating USWildflowers.com to reflect the corrected identification.
