Viola striata is a species of violet known by the common names striped cream violet[1] and creamy violet. It is native to eastern North America, with its distribution being centered in interior areas away from the coastal plain.[2] Its preferred habitat is mesic forests. It is a small, caulescent, perennial herb that has purple-striped white flowers in the spring.[3]
The leaves and blossoms are edible; the latter can be used to make jelly.[4]
