|discussion=<p><i>Viola lanceolata</i> occurs in small colonies; individual plants are interconnected by stolons.</p><!--
--><p><i>Viola lanceolata</i> subsp. vittata was recognized by N. H. Russell (1955) based on its linear leaf blade shape. The range in leaf blade shape appears to have no distinct line of demarcation. Some believe that leaf shape differences and near restriction to the coastal plain support recognition at some level. Studies are necessary to resolve this issue.</p><!--
--><p>J. H. Shultze (1946) reported that <i>Viola lanceolata</i> was introduced into Washington in the early 1900s primarily from Cape Cod and Wisconsin as a result of importation of cranberry vines. In British Columbia, it is known from Lulu Island, where it was introduced from eastern North America (G. W. Douglas et al. 1998–2002, vol. 5).</p><!--
--><p><i>Viola lanceolata</i> reportedly hybridizes with <i>V. primulifolia </i>var.<i> primulifolia</i> (= V. ×modesta House) and <i>V. macloskeyi</i> (= V. ×sublanceolata House).</p>
