European Field Pansy (Viola arvensis)

The European Field Pansy - like the Field Pansy - is another small pansy, about 1/2- to 3/4-inch in length. I know of a couple of small patches of the European Field Pansy (Viola arvensis) in this area; it is on the east side of the Monroe-Gratis Road just north of the intersection with Ike Stone Road and Mountain Church Road.
