Viola sagittata, commonly known as the arrowleaf violet, is a species of flowering plant in the violet family native to eastern North America. It is found in a variety of natural habitats, such as prairies, glades, and woodlands, and produces purple flowers in the spring. There are two varieties of this species: V. sagittata var. ovata, which is primarily found in the Appalachian Mountains and Great Lakes area, and V. sagittata var. sagittata, which is widespread across eastern North America. It can be distinguished from other Viola in its area by its leaves that are much longer than wide, with truncate to subcordate bases.
