The plant you've illustrated has heart-shaped or sagittate leaves and a tap root. The petal margins are smooth, and the drawing does not include a prominent style.

The VMS plant has kidney-shaped (reniforme) leaves and a very distinctive, well-drawn rhizome that shows not only the scales for the new growth (right) but also the leaf scars from previous growth (left). It has a prominent, hirsute style and slightly frilled petal margins.

The only thing that's similar between the two plants is the light-colored flower with pointy petals, everything else is different.




It is possible for plants of the same family, but different species, to be related but look very different. For example, Euphorbia plants are extremely variable (you'd never guess they were the same plant). Some look like cacti and some look like ferny flowers. The mustard family is like that too. Most people don't realize that field mustard and broccoli are close relatives.

So... you find violas with heart-shaped leaves and also violas with rounded leaves (and some with palmate leaves), but they are different species.


The plant you posted could be Parnassia palustris, for example (heart-shaped leaves, tap root, white pointy flowers) and let's say the VMS flower is another species of Parnassia, but they don't resemble each other very much except the petals.
