Viola reichenbachiana, also known as the early dog-violet, pale wood violet, slender wood violet, hedge violet, or wood dog violet, is a species of flowering plant in the Viola genus.[1][2][3][4] This species hybridises with Viola riviniana, the common dog-violet, to produce Viola × bavarica.[5] The plant is named after the 19th century botanist Ludwig Reichenbach.[6] It is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial that is widely known for its purple petals, and it typically resides along road banks or among other rich vegetation, as other wild pansies do.[1][7] The name dog violet refers to its lack of scent, making it supposedly only fit for dogs.[8][3]
