Viola arvensis - Field Pansy... Viola banksii - (Australian) Native Violet... Viola biflora - Yellow Wood Violet or Twoflower Violet... Viola canina - Heath Dog Violet...

Note: Neither Saintpaulia ("African violets") nor Erythronium dens-canis ("Dogtooth violets") are related to the true viola... The genus includes the Dog Violets, a group of scentless species which are the most common viola in many areas, the Sweet Violet Viola odorata (named from its sweet scent), and many other species whose common name includes the word "violet". Several species are known as pansies, including the Yellow Pansy of the Pacific coasts... The Common Blue Violet Viola sororia is the state flower of Rhode Island, Illinois, and New Jersey. Australia is home to a number of viola, including Viola hederacea, Viola betonicifolia and Viola banksii, first collected by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander on the Cook voyage to Botany Bay. The modern Garden Pansy (V. × wittrockiana) is a plant of complex hybrid origin involving at least three species, V. tricolor (Wild Pansy or Heartsease), V. altaica and V. lutea (Mountain Pansy).
