This is possibly the first picture of Viola decipiens on the internet. This species is closely related to Viola philippii and a new record for Argentina. It was photographed near the Chilean border in northern Mendoza. We thought it was V. philippii at the time.

Kees Jan,
Thank you for sharing this pic!

Is this plant as small as Viola philippii is? Flowers seems to be somewhat larger.

No, I think it is about the same size. Flowers and plant are tiny. This is probably just a tiny rosette and the picture is close-up! We found what was identified as true V. philippii further south.
