Family: Violaceae
Group: Vascular Plant, Species
Scientific Name | Common Name | Summary |
---|---|---|
Viola adunca | Early Violet | Collections in ARCTOS mapped from the northern mainland. |
Viola biflora | Arctic Yellow Violet | Collections mapped in ARCTOS from the southern outer islands and near Yakutat. Unclear which variety occurs in the region (FNA suggests var biflora should be expected, but distribution of records makes carlottae seem plausible) |
Viola epipsila | Marsh Violet | Collections mapped in ARCTOS across the region primarily from the mainland, but also Revillagigedo and Baranof Islands. |
Viola glabella | Stream Violet | Scattered collections in ARCTOS from across the region. |
Viola langsdorfii | Alaska Violet | Collections in ARCTOS from throughout the region. |
Viola palustris | Marsh Violet | No collections in ARCTOS from the region. Some authors have included Marsh Violet (Viola epipsila) as a synonym of this species, though FNA does not. |
Viola renifolia | White Violet | Collections from Juneau and Haines indicated in PacNW herbaria database. Also a collection from BC near the border along the Stikine River is near the region. |
Viola selkirkii | Selkirk's Violet | Three collections from Juneau (1939, 1941, and 1961) are the only records mapped in ARCTOS from the region. |
Viola sempervirens | Evergreen Violet | A single collection from Montague Island (Prince William Sound) is the only record in ARCTOS. Hulten shows a report from Prince of Wales Island. Each of these is well outside the typical range (based on e-Flora BC maps). |
