Can also be Viola pilosa Blume, which is very confusing with Viola canescens Wall.

I am very excited to see this Viola with a 3-lobed stigma (and perhaps beaked too!) which according to Flowers of the Himalaya is found on V. pilosa. At least it gives credibility to FOH description which is different from eFloraofChina. 

It is unfortunate that our main sources do not agree on the keys. FOH also says that leaf-blades are narrow and long, which clearly is not the case with Saroj ji’s plant, and stipules entire or toothed, not fringed, again differing from the plant in photos.

Since the plant is not hairy on petioles, leaf-blades and peduncles, I am inclined to rule out V. canescens. 

I hope our experts will give a set of keys for the correct identification of Viola soon.

Thanks.

Ashwini

Just found this nice paper on Viola. I could not download it on jStor as I am not affiliated with any institution and am not a subscriber. Perhaps someone on the group could download and share the pdf.
