Viola pedata (Sandhills Bird's foot violet)

In frequently burned longleaf pine sandhill, with Aristida stricta. Sandhills Game Lands, Richmond County, North Carolina.

 

Had a great day botanizing the sandhills with Bruce Sorrie, as well as Viola expert Harvey Ballard from Ohio University and Andrew Stuart.

 

This is an unusual form of this species that grows in the sandhills of the Carolinas and Georgia.
