A reply: "Darjeeling part of the Eastern Himalaya is extremely rich in Violaceae, mainly the genus Viola. For most of the species of the said region it is difficult to recognize upto the species level from this type of photograph. Even the nature of stigmatic lobes were considered as an important character in recognizing some species of Viola. It better to avoid guessing the species. Thanks! Professor A.P.
