- Comments
- Only a partial map is available at this time (based on specimens at VPI). This taxon has not been recognized as distinct from Viola palmata or V. triloba in previous Virginia floristic studies and herbaria. As currently circumscribed, V. subsinuata is homophyllous (producing lobed/divided leaves from the beginning) whereas V. palmata (now including V. triloba) is heterophyllous (unlobed early leaves followed by lobed ones). Subtle differences in leaf lobing also distinguish these species, but poses a significant challenge best taken on by the experts themselves.
- Habitat
- Because of past lumping with V. palmata, this species is poorly known in Virginia. Its habitats and statewide distribution have yet to be determined.
- Native Status
- Native
