--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial, caulescent, not stoloniferous, 3–38 cm. <b>Stems</b> 1–3, erect or prostrate, leafless proximally, leafy distally, glabrous or finely puberulent, on caudex from fleshy rhizome. <b>Leaves</b> basal and cauline; basal: 0–4(–7); stipules ovate to obovate, margins entire, crenate, or serrate, usually glandular, apex acute to obtuse; petiole 7–27.5 cm, glabrous or puberulent; blade usually reniform to ovate, sometimes orbiculate, 3.3–8.5 × 2–9.3 cm, base cordate, margins crenate to serrate, ciliate or eciliate, apex acute to obtuse, mucronulate, surfaces glabrous or finely puberulent; cauline similar to basal except: usually restricted to distal ends of naked stems; stipules ovate to oblong, margins erose or subserrate, often glandular, apex acute to acuminate; petiole 0.2–2.9 cm, glabrous or finely puberulent; blade ovate to deltate, 1.4–5.7 × 0.8–4.7 cm, base cordate to truncate, margins crenate to ± serrate, ciliate (sometimes limited to proximal half), apex acute. <b>Peduncles</b> 2–8 cm, glabrous or pubescent. <b>Flowers</b>: sepals linear-lanceolate, margins eciliate, auricles 0.5–1 mm; petals deep lemon-yellow on both surfaces, lower 3 and sometimes upper 2 brownish purple-veined, lateral 2 bearded, lowest 6–18 mm, spur yellow to greenish, gibbous, 0.5–2 mm; style head bearded; cleistogamous flowers axillary. <b>Capsules</b> ovoid to ellipsoid, 7–13 mm, glabrous. <b>Seeds</b> light to dark brown, shiny, 2–2.2 mm. <b>2n</b> = 24.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Viola glabella</i> is similar in overall appearance to <i>V. pubescens</i>. The cauline leaves are sometimes described as appearing only near the apex of the stem (P. A. Munz 1959), but often a leaf occurs from a node on the stem below the apex.</p><!--
--><p><i>Viola</i> californica was described from collections made in Humboldt and Trinity counties, California, and may have arisen as a hybrid between <i>V. glabella</i> and <i>V. lobata </i>var.<i> integrifolia</i>. It is apparently limited to <i>Abies concolor</i> forests above 1520 m (M. S. Baker 1953). Study of <i>V. californica</i> is needed to determine if taxonomic recognition is warranted.</p>
