YES Jamie Smith: Rio Grande Co, Monte Vista, growing in sidewalk crack, 13 July 2019

Comments

There is only one Watershed observation of this cultivated violet, an escape growing between sections of a paved sidewalk in Monte Vista, photographed by Jamie Smith on 13 July 2019 (see iNaturalist #28769898). The species is a hybrid between Viola cornuta and Viola x wittrockiana, itself a hybrid between Viola tricolor and two other species. No other escapes of V. x williamsii have been recorded from the Rio Grande drainage.
