Viola lanceolata subsp. lanceolata

From Flora of Indiana (1940) by Charles C. Deam

Rather local but usually frequent to abundant where it is found in the lake area. Usually in a sandy black loam soil in the open in marshes, on the borders of swamps, and in bogs. Probably absent in most of the counties immediately south of the lake area but common on the slightly acid soil of the flats of southern Indiana. Here it is locally abundant in old fallow, wet fields and in low, open, sweet gum, red maple, and beech woods. Also in the southwestern part of the state in pin oak and swamp white oak flats where it is very rare.
