This one belongs to the beautiful violet family and indeed carries the beauty genes from its family. The flowers are pale violet and often paler at centre which acts as a beautiful contrast and further enhances the beauty of the flower. It is distinguished by the minutely and densely grey haired leaves and leaf stalks. It seems even the leaves have fallen in love with its beautiful flowers, so much so the leaves are ovate-heart shaped. They are rather thick and covered with grey hairs.
