Viola chaerophylloides f. sieboldiana is
a perennial herb inhabiting grasslands or deciduous forest floors;
the leaves entirely cut themselves in three, and either side lobes
again deeply cleft in three, thus the whole look to be five clefts.
Those cleft lobes cut in further finely. Flowers are white, rarely
light red, and many fragrant; the side petals have hair at the basal
portions. Spurs measure 4-6cm in length. Bloom time: March-May. |
