Few kind of 'wild violet' blooms on a bright hill here.

A large-patterned flower is the greatest feature at a glance.

The flower color, too, is different from the general violet, being fair.

Others Viola vaginata grows in with the side of Japan Sea, Viola rossii grows in with the inland area, Viola bisseti grows in with Pacific Ocean side.
The thick stem stretches from among of the withered leaf and has the large flower of the sinking pink. Viola vaginata has the characteristic of the common leaf.
Viola rossii The leafstalk, too, is thick long but because it stands up diagonally, the vertically stretching flower is conspicuous one-sidedly to the florescence. The spread of the leaf isn't enough in the condition that the flower was blooming fully and is as balled like the packing paper which wraps up a bouquet. Viola rossii
It is distributed mainly in 'Saitama', 'Nagano' and 'Gunma'. In 'Gunma', for the first time, when finding, being very glad, it admired with which has the violet of such a large image. The image is quite different from Viola bissetii in Mt. Takao. Regrettably, the color was different from the flower to have been seeing 'Gunma' and 'Nagano' with the illustrated guide.
