Viola adunca indicated mainly by the caulescent habit and the prominent blue veins that extend for most of the length of the petals. The leaves are a little unexpected, and something has been enjoying them.June 26, 2008, Red Butte Canyon, Salt Lake County, Utah, approx. 5,850 ft. elev., in dense vegetation, mainly shaded.

Following Intermountain Vol. 2B (2005) and with some reservations, this is Viola utahensis Baker & Clausen. Welsh (2008) still treats under an expanded V. nuttallii which is now being generally recognized as only occurring east of the Rocky Mountains and so does not occur in Utah. The leaves however were mainly entire, also weakly crenate.This might in fact however may be V. purpurea var. venosa (the description and drawing of which in IF Vol. 2B apparently cannot be fully relied upon) because of the deep vein markings and also note the lower/basal leaves. The leaves of these related species may be dimorphic and important for identification, more so that characters that have been previously relied on. The upcoming treatment of this genus in the Flora of North America series should be helpful in that regard.May 25, 2008, Neff's Canyon, Salt Lake County, Utah under shade/vegetation, approx. 5,950 ft. elev.

Viola pyrenaicaSlo.: pirenejska vijolica Dat.: April 6. 2013Lat.: 46.34501 Long.: 13.56603Code: Bot_695/2013_IMG2671 Habitat: South inclined mountain slope, mixed predominantly hard wood forest, dominant Ostrya carpinifolia, Fraxinus ornus, Fagus sylvatica, Corylus avellana, Picea abies, among Primula vulgaris, Helleborus niger, Hepatica nobilis, etc. warm and dry place, partly in shade; in transitions zone between calcareous well consolidated conglomerate layers and flysh bedrock, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 525 m (1.770 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: brown sandy forest soil.Place: Bovec basin, below Ravni Laz place, next to the trail to Bovec, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comment: This violet was in 2001 considered as a very rare species and known only from one sub-square of MTB grid in the whole state (Ref.:(5)). Today we know well above hundred observations. Usually these plants grow in small scattered groups. In this observation they grow in an unusually large and dense group of several hundred plants with quite high ground coverage. The largest number of these plants Ive ever seen. Endemic to southeast Alps. Protected according to 'Uredba o zavarovanih prosto iveih rastlinskih vrstah' Ur.l. RS, t. 46/2004.

Four month old Viola cunninghamii (alpine violet) plant bearing cleistogamous flowers and developing fruit in the RTBG nursery. Cleistogamy is where flowers are produced that do not open and automatically self-pollinate. Production of both chasmogamous (open) and cleistogamous (closed) flowers is a commonly reported behaviour in Viola species. Viola cunninghamii is being grown at the RTBG nursery as part of seed orchard for the seedbank. The cleistogamous flowers here are rather small and easily overlooked. It wasn't until the fruits began to appear that we realised what the plants were doing.
