Viola glabella, also known as the stream violet or pioneer violet, is a perennial herb native to northeastern Asia and northwestern North America. It grows to 0.1 m (0ft 4in) by 0.2 m (0ft 8in) and blooms from April to July. The petals are yellow on both sides, with the exception of dark purple nectar guides on the front of the lower three petals. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and can grow in part shade. Young leaves and flower buds are edible, raw or cooked, but the yellow flowers can cause diarrhoea.
