Recently I came across a Viola Species posted on FOI.
Although the flowers look close to my images, the plant looks different.
These were seen at the Selma/Salma Plateau in the Hajar Mountains of Oman.
A native plant.
For correct identification.

Yes, Aarti ji you are right. 
This is Viola cinerea Boiss. There are few confusions in naming. This species I have noted in arid areas of Gujarat, and also reported here in Flora of Saurashtra (1962) by Father Santapau. Here, I am attaching the  original description and one photograph from my earlier collection.

Dr Shahina Ghazanfar has also confirmed this to be Viola cinerea.

Thanks, Kishan ji,
I think our plant (from India) is Viola cinerea var. stocksii as per images and details herein.
Aarti ji's plant from Oman, appears to be Viola cinerea as per GBIF specimens from Oman- one, two, three, four.
