Viola rostrata,a
perennial herb inhabiting edges/fringes of lowland forests, is
peculiar in that it makes a long spur, 1.5-2.5cm in length, much
longer than any other species in the same genus. The long staffs, a
bit curved, characterize this species. The flowers, generally light
red-purple, measure approximately 1.5cm in diameter, feeling like
they squashed themselves from the front. Bloom tie: April-May.
