Viola labradorica, commonly known as alpine violet, American dog violet, dog violet or Labrador violet, is a perennial herbaceous flowering plant. It is native to Greenland, eastern Canada, and the eastern United States.[1] The plant sold as Viola labradorica by nurseries is Viola riviniana.[2]
Viola labradorica has edible leaves and flowers. However, the leaves are sometimes characterized as "wooly" and thus not as desirable for eating.[3]
