There are the different plural groups of the characteristic such as the shape of the flower and hair of the side petal, the color of the back side of the leaf. It is said that a spot is on the surface of fruits although it is unidentified. A clear difference with 'Viola sieboldi' is assumed that the back of the leaf is green. However, the group to which presents purple is found in Kyusyu. It doesn't become a decisive factor to identify. |
