ANMAR03\/03 Viola sp. for identification<\/span><\/a> : 10 posts by 4 authors. <\/span>Attachments<\/span> (6)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Family: Violaceae<\/i>
\nDate: November 2014
\nPlace: Mussoorie, Uttarakhand<\/span>
\nHabit: Herb<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It may be <\/span>Viola odorata<\/i> or <\/span>Viola alba<\/i>, not sure.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

efi page on <\/span>Viola odorata<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Looks a lot like the <\/span>Viola canescens<\/i> we have here (Himachal)\u00a0in the himalayas.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Any key identifying features, sir?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I can think of a couple off the top of my head. The lower petal is the smallest among all five. The tiny style (I am not sure if it could be called that) is yellow and tiny white hair cover the central upper surface where the petals meet. The flower overall is very pale violet, almost white.
\n<\/span>Please remember that I am a beginner myself, so wait for the experts before concluding anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

Thank you very much sir. This helps me a lot. <\/span>Have you come across any other similar looking species of <\/span>Viola<\/i>?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I am struggling with this family. A couple of times I thought I had seen <\/span>V. canescens<\/i> turned out to be not so. There is <\/span>V. pilosa<\/i>\u00a0and another whose identity I am still not sure. Hopefully in good time I will be certain what to look for. These are very useful plants for food as well medicines. Dr Chauhan’s book on medicinal plants lists <\/span>V. serpens, V. canescens, <\/i>and<\/span> V. odorata<\/i> in use in Himachal Pradesh.
\n<\/span>The name <\/span>serpens<\/i> is also used for both <\/span>indica<\/i> and <\/span>pilosa<\/i> species. So you see there is lot to be learnt.
\n<\/span>The good thing is that we have specimens aplenty here to study and I should ideally devote some time to this genus exclusively. You will surely hear it if I get around to doing that.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Will definitely be glad to find out how to identify these Violas. Thank you. Please keep me updated!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Leaves look more like <\/span>Viola pilosa<\/em><\/span><\/a>, but I think stipules are laciniate as in <\/span>Viola canescens<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Stigma is not clear and appears more\u00a0like Viola canescens<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
So it may be something else.
\nHowever, high resolution images are required to see the details correctly.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
I think it may be Viola pilosa<\/em> Blume<\/u><\/span><\/a>\u00a0only.<\/div>\n
I think stipules are variable.<\/div>\n
Flora of China<\/span><\/a> says stipules mostly free, brown or green, lanceolate, margin long or shortly fimbriate-dentate, apex long acuminate;<\/div>\n

Perhaps Viola canescens<\/i>…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Viola<\/i> spp. But can’t go to the spp level..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Can also be Viola pilosa<\/i> Blume<\/span><\/a>, which is very confusing with Viola canescens<\/i> Wall.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
I am very excited to see this Viola with a 3-lobed stigma (and perhaps beaked too!) which according to Flowers of the Himalaya<\/i> is found on V. pilosa<\/i>. <\/span>At least it gives credibility to FOH description which is different from\u00a0eFloraofChina<\/span><\/a>.<\/div>\n
It is unfortunate that our main sources do not agree on the keys. FOH also says that leaf-blades are narrow and long, which clearly is not the case with Saroj ji\u2019s plant, and stipules entire or toothed, not fringed, again differing from the plant in photos.<\/div>\n
Since the plant is not hairy on petioles, leaf-blades and peduncles, I am inclined to rule out V. canescens<\/i>.
\nI hope our experts will give a set of keys for the correct identification of Viola soon.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n

Yes … It is sometimes difficult specially a lay person like me.<\/p>\n

\n

I agree …, it is difficult for us to deal with difficult genera without expert help. I have been confounded by Viola<\/i> and despite looking at our plants over and over again, I cannot decide between V. pilosa<\/i> and V. canescens<\/i>. Differing descriptions in Eflora of China, FOI and other literature does not help the case.
\nI can see the stigma is flat with a beak like projection, petioles almost as long as laminae (though cannot see any hair above or below), stipules with long hair-like projections on the edges all point to <\/span>V. pilosa<\/i>. However, till we obtain an expert opinion, we cannot for certain file this under <\/span>V.\u00a0pilosa<\/i>.
\n<\/span>Hope this helps.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Himalayan White Violet (Viola canescens<\/em>)?
\nhttp:\/\/www.flowersofindia.Himalayan%20White%20Violet.html<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
A was able to find only one plant of this at Manali. It is Veronica betonicifolia<\/em> (Syn: V. patrinii). This one one has narrower leaves than canescens, thicker, nearly glabrous, not deeply cordate at base, and corolla with a short saccate spur (spur longer, slightly curved in V. canescence<\/em>). You can view google images, illustrations of Efloras of China and Pakistan.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

I think this should be Himalayan White Violet (Viola canescens<\/em>) without doubt. This is the only Viola<\/em> species with pale violet to almost white flowers found in the Himalayas at altitudes of 1500-2400 m.
\n\u2026 absent-mindedly typed Veronica betonicifolia<\/em> when he wanted to type Viola betonicifolia<\/em>. Viola betonicifolia<\/em> has flowers which are violet, and look very different from this one. See this page for example:
\nhttp:\/\/www.anbg.gov.au\/viola-betonicifolia<\/span><\/a>
\nAll other Viola species in the Himalayas at these altitudes have yellow flowers.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/viola_can.jpg\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Please note that leaves in Viola canescens<\/em> and V. betonicifolia<\/em> are totally different. They are thicker, shining, glabrous with truncate to hastate base, where as they are deeply cordate and much broader, not shining. Also the spur in V. canescens is longer and slightly curved, where as it is shorter, saccate and straight in V. betonicifolia<\/em>. As for the flower colour please note that flower colour varies from pale purple to violet, fading with age. Kindly compare leaves of V. canescens<\/em> at FlowersofIndia website,
\nEfloras of Pakistan and China with leaves of V. betonicifolia<\/em> depicted in link cited by you, photograph forwarded by \u2026 and illustrations at Efloras of Pakistan and China.
\nI am uploading my photograph of V. betonicifolia<\/em> from Manali. Leaves and Straight saccate spur are clearly visible. The flowers lacks violet veins, but is a common feature in many plants illustrated by my links above.
\nMost important Indian specimens now placed in V. betonicifolia were originally known as V. patrinii. I request you to see the following photographs:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nhttp:\/\/flower.onego.ru\/other\/viola_n.html<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Thanks for the detailed feedback. My perception of the flower color was based on Polunin & Stainton which describes the color of <\/span>V. betonicifolia<\/em> as violet. Indeed, Flora of Pakistan mentions it as lilac.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Leaves are variable in both the species. The only difference I can clearly make out (for myself) is that leaves of V. betonicifolia<\/em> are much longer than broad, and those of V. canescens<\/em> are about as broad as long.
\nOne clear difference in the flowers of the two species, that I can see, is that the “lip” (lowest petal) of V. betonicifolia<\/em> is broad and round at the tip, whereas that of V. canescens<\/em> is narrow and pointed.
\nThe spur of the two is also different, as pointed out by you.
\nBased on this, my conclusion is:
\nFlower posted by you is clearly V. betonicifolia<\/em> (which was never in doubt) – the lip is round and broad at the tip, as shown in the illustration of Flora of China. Leaves are long, arrow-like.
\nFlower posted by \u2026 and those on FOI are V. canescens<\/em>. The lip is narrow and pointed at the tip. I have also attached a picture of another view of the flower posted on FOI, which shows the spur. Leaves cannot be called long – the breadth is comparable to the length.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

It is good that our interaction on the website throws up interesting results. I must admit, you are a very keen observer. I was able to collect only and photograph of V. betonicifolia <\/em>from Manali. I hope you will incorporate into FlowersofIndia the photographs I sent yesterday, and not represented at that website.<\/p>\n

I think this is also Himalayan White Violet (Viola canescens<\/em>).
\nEarlier I had assumed them to be Viola blanda<\/em>, as the two look very very similar. However, Viola blanda<\/em> is native to the American continent, and Viola canescens<\/em> is native to the
\nHimalayas.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n
I think more\u00a0likely to be Viola pilosa<\/em> Blume<\/u><\/span><\/a> rather than Viola canescens <\/em>Wall.<\/u><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
But can not be confirmed with these images.<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Viola pilosa<\/i> Blume<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and Viola canescens<\/i> Wall.<\/span><\/a> are confusingly similar.
\nPl. check details and keys etc. to confirm.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

I guess V. pilosa<\/i> leaves are more pointed compared to V. canescens<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
Leaves are more like\u00a0Viola pilosa<\/em> Blume<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and stigma is more like Viola canescens<\/em> Wall.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
But stipules are different from both.
\nSo something different.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Viola sikkimensis<\/em> W.Becker ??<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

I think pistil looks different from FOC illustration<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n
I checked keys in Flora of Bhutan at Viola<\/span><\/a>\u200e<\/div>\n
It leads me to Viola pilosa<\/em> Blume<\/span><\/a> only.
\nFlora of China<\/span><\/a> says stipules mostly free, brown or green, lanceolate, margin long or shortly fimbriate-dentate<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Also does not match with Viola hamiltoniana<\/em> as per GBIF<\/span><\/a>.<\/div>\n
So best bet is Viola pilosa<\/em> Blume<\/span><\/a> only.
\nMay I request you to pl. post the original of 2nd image.<\/span><\/div>\n

Very difficult …, <\/span>There are 18 species recorded for Sikkim and without further details mainly nature of stipules, lower surface of leaves, size of flowers, details of subterranean parts etc. it is not possible to identify the species without prior acquaintance.
