|discussion=<p>Variety ovata was known as <i>Viola</i> fimbriatula by those who considered it a distinct species. Torrey and Gray were the first to recognize its affinity with <i>V. sagittata</i>. The early leaf-blade structure is similar in <i></i></i>var.<i><i> ovata</i> and <i></i></i>var.<i><i> sagittata</i> and both have prominent sepal auricles on cleistogamous flowers (L. E. McKinney 1992).</p><!--
--><p>Fernald described <i>Viola</i> fimbriatula forma umbelliflora, an apparently rare taxon from Halifax, Nova Scotia, in which flowers occur in umbels of three. H. J. Scoggan (1978–1979) included forma umbelliflora under <i>Viola sagittata</i>. Study is needed of this taxon because umbels are otherwise unknown in North American species of <i>Viola</i>. Several species in the Hawaiian Islands produce umbellate inflorescences with up to five flowers (W. L. Wagner et al. 1990).</p><!--
--><p>Variety ovata reportedly hybridizes with <i>V. sagittata </i>var.<i> sagittata</i> (= V. ×abundans House).</p>
