| Abstract: | Viola laricicola Marcussen sp. nov. is described from collections from four French and Italian localities in the south-west Alps. It is closely related to V. riviniana (section Trigonocarpea ) but differs in a few morphological characters and by the chromosome number 2 n = 20. Viola laricicola is endemic to the montane and subalpine coniferous forests in the continental parts of the Alps. © 2003 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 142 , 119–123. |
