The leaves have slightly longer petioles and are often heart-shaped.
Violets have five petals, the upper two petals being called the "upper petal," the two petals on each side being called the "side petals," and the lower one being the "lip petal.
The base of the lip petal is characterized by a swollen, protruding "thallus" at the back.
