Viola ovato-oblonga is
a perennial herb found in grasslands in fields and mountains,
ranging from coastal to high-elevated areas
approximately1,000m from sea level. The stems measure 10-20cm in
height around bloom time, then gradually grow to as tall as 30cm in
fruit. Radical leaves are concentric, 2-3cm across; however, leaves
on the stems are long and narrow, triangle-like oblong, which is
conspicuous. Flowers are light or dark purple, the petals 1.2-1.5cm,
spurs 7-8mm. Bloom time: March-May. |
