I have seen Viola pilosa.This doesnot match with V.pilosa according to Flowers of India

[J.M. Garg]

I think it is not Viola pilosa Blume as per images and details herein.

It is something else.

Hi, Dipankar ji,

Do you know what are the species reported from your area ?

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Kanhaiya Lal ji.

Would probably rule out Viola pilosa & Viola sikkimensis. Leaves are hairy here. Haven't come across this spp.

[J.M. Garg]

I checked with lot of other species mentioned in flora of Bhutan which are reported from East Himalayas like V. paravaginata, V. cameleo Boissieu, V. placida Becker, V. sikkimensis Becker and V. thomsonii Oudemans (which are not already available in our database as per comparative images at ‎Viola‎), but I could not find a match. 

[J.M. Garg]

This is most likely to be Viola canescens as per comparative images at ‎Viola‎

I will definitely try, but not sure if I can reach an ID. I will report back.

Thanks.

The only clearly visible characters are the winged petioles, hair on the leaves, purple flowers with slightly hairy sepals. 

Can Dipankar ji confirm if there was a spur or not? If there was a short spur, one could look at Viola diffusa. If not, then I am not sure. The only spurless species mentioned in FOC is Viola hederacea which is native to Australia.

I am attaching a pdf from Flora of China for further reference.

Thanks.

Dear Ashwini ji and Garg ji,

Thank you for the identification. I totally agree with the observations of the characters by Ashwini Ji (the only clearly visible characters are the winged petioles, hairs on the leaves, purple flowers with slightly hairy sepals.) The time I took these photos, I was not sure what to look at. With the pictures I have, I too think it is V.diffusa. It might have a short spur quite not visible here, though you can get a hint in the image I am attaching here.

With kindest regards

Dipankar

Thank you Dipankar ji for the additional image. I agree with you that your viola is likely to be V. diffusa. But violas are very deceptive and we may learn it is an entirely different species.

If you happen to visit the area anytime in the near future, you can always have a relook. 

Warm regards,

Ashwini

[J.M. Garg]

I also agree.

I am surprised how I missed it with good observations already in efi site at Viola diffusa

[Tabish]

It should be Viola diffusa, with prominently winged leaf-stalks.
