[Viola sororia does not occur in NL; recent DNA research by Marcussen et al. (2022) has shown that many Viola species lumped together in the 2015 Flora of North America treatment (vol. 6) of Viola are actually distinct species, including Viola septentrionalis, which had been synonymized under Viola sororia; the pubescent stemless blue violet in NL is once again known as Viola septentrionalis (northern blue violet).]
