I was looking for an authentic site for verification. I think I found one which discusses three similar species almost simultaneously, with key features to distinguish them. As per this possibility of it being *Viola riviniana *are more than Viola reichenbachiana or Viola odorata (if it is not any other species as listed in efloraofindia at Viola <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/v/violaceae/viola> ). But I feel closest is *Viola canescens* Wall. <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/v/violaceae/viola/viola-canescens> only.
Pl. see details and key features at https://www.first-nature.com/flowers/viola-reichenbachiana.php https://www.first-nature.com/flowers/viola-odorata.php https://www.first-nature.com/flowers/viola-riviniana.php Both POWO <http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:869126-1> and Catalogue of Life <https://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/583232d7b499898dbe97f07ddbe07e58> consider *Viola silvatica* Fries ex Hartm. fil. as a syn. of *Viola riviniana *Rchb. (But no distribution in this part of the world).
