tgrows in the Northern States, in open fields or hillsides, inrather dry places ; but as we go South, it seems to prefer dampsituations. The place of growth seems in some measure toinfluence its character. Dr. Willis says, in his Catalogue ofNew Jersey Plants, that it is generally slightly pubescent(hairy or downy) when growing in dry soil, and entirely smoothwhen growing in damp places. Situation and external cir-cumstances often influence form, but frequently there are lawswhich cause changes quite independent of anything external. Violets abound in our country, but yet the individual specieshave a circumscribed limit in many instances. Thus Chapmansays of the species to which this article is devoted, that withinthe area covered by his Flora of the Southern United Statesit is chiefly confined to the upper districts. Its chief territoryseems to be Canada and the more northern Atlantic States,and from there west to Michigan, sweeping thence southerly toArkansas and Florida. Plate 34-.
