Viola subsinuata
Also called Wood Violet, Angell's Violet, Hand Leaved Violet, Wavy Leaved Violet, Early Blue Violet, Wavyleaf Violet
Viola subsinuata, commonly called the early blue violet, is a species of flowering plant in the violet family (Violaceae). It is native to eastern North America, where it is primarily found in the Appalachian Mountains and Great Lakes area. Its natural habitat is in loamy forests, often over mafic or calcareous substrates.
Viola subsinuata is a perennial that produces purple flowers in the spring. It is superficially similar to Viola palmata, and it can be distinguished by its earliest flowering leaves being divided and similar to later leaves (unlike V. palmata, which has undivided early leaves and divided later leaves).
