Viola mirabilis var.
subglabra is a perennial viola species inhabiting forests in
volcanic ash or limestone areas. Stems exist not in bloom time but,
after flower, they grow up to make stems, and each bears two
opposite leaves and set cleistogamous flowers at the leaf axils.
Radical leaves are concentric, 2-4cm in length. Flowers: petals
measure 1.2-1.5cm in length; side petals have hairs; they end
without seeds. It is only the cleistogamous flowers that make seeds.
Bloom time: April-May. |
