|discussion=<p>L. E. McKinney (1992) considered <i>Viola novae-angliae</i> to be a variety of <i>V. sororia</i>; N. L. Gil-Ad (1997) treated it as a distinct species. H. E. Ballard and S. C. Gawler (1994) also considered <i>V. novae-angliae</i> distinct and suggested it might be a hybrid between <i>V. sagittata</i> and <i>V. sororia</i>. <i>Viola novae-angliae</i> appears to have a close affinity with <i>V. sororia</i>; we recognize them here as separate species.</p>
