In early spring this White Violet can carpet woods from low to high mountains.  The plant grows from just an inch to twelve inches tall depending on growing conditions.

Asa Gray was the first to name this species and then Edward Greene renamed it Viola scopulorum.   It is most commonly called Viola canadensis or Viola canadensis variety scopulorum.  "Scopulorum" is Latin for "rocky places".
