Endemic to the Appalachians and one of the only aquatic lichens, this species is uncommon and is indicative of high water quality. It looks like it belongs in a tidal pool. A Pennsylvania 'Watchlist' species.

I’m basing this Id primarily on the leaf shape but totally open to other ideas…..Provenance is somewhat uncertain - while it is not something I planted, it came up in an area where I HAVE planted some iris virginica so peehaps it was transported in with that from the nursery.

Hairs on lateral petals are not knobbed. Sepals are lanceolate and not hairy. Leaves are longer than wide, and basal teeth are larger than apical teeth. Formerly considered a variety of coast violet (V. brittoniana)

syn. Viola palmata var. angelliae (Pollard) W. Stone, growing beneath large old white oaks on a ridge near hemlocks, unique lateral petal pubescence, stems and other flower parts pubescent (see also https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/199643111 for 870515046b). No. 870515046a.
