Jackie might be able to tell whether this is Viola hederacea or Viola betonicifila with no photo of leaves, but I can't. Betty

Yep, hederacea, because of the notch in the lower petal, though LEAVES WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN HELPFUL!!! The thing hederacea can be confused with more so than betonicifolia (which is usually pure purple, no white) is V. banksii. The latter has clearer demarcation between the purple and the white, narrower white strip on the lower petal and no notch, plus the leaves usually have a deep V where the stem joins the leaf (but not invariably), and it grows in wettish places and very close to the sea (eg headlands). Hederacea leaves tend to be straight across the base, and it grows in forest.
