- Comments
- We do not recognize vars. of Viola walteri because Ballard's "Systematics of Viola Section Viola, s. str., in North America north of Mexico", C. Mich. Univ (1992), provides ample evidence for the recognition of Viola appalachiensis (V. walteri var. appalachiensis) as a species. Plants previously identified as V. walteri but occurring on ecotones of mafic fens in Grayson County have been redetermined by Ballard as V. appalachiensis.
- Habitat
- Mesic to dry, rocky forests, woodlands, barrens, ledges, pastures, and road banks on limestone and dolostone. Infrequent to rare in the sw. mountains, n. to Botetourt County (Ridge and Valley province).
