What is 'Cape violet' in French?

'Violette du Cap' is a French equivalent of 'Cape violet' or
'Violet of the Cape' [Saintpaulia spp]. The phrase actually
is one of two common names in French for the 'African violet'.
The feminine noun 'violette' means 'violet'. Its singular
definite article is 'la' ['the'], and its singular
indefinite 'une' ['a, one']. The word 'du' combines
the preposition 'de' and the masculine singular definite
article 'le' to mean 'of, from the'. The masculine noun
'Cap' means 'Cape'. Its definite article is 'le', and
its indefinite 'un'.
All together, they're pronounced 'vyoh-leht dyoo kah'.
