Garden Pansy

...It is said that it was introduced to Japan on a Dutch ship at the end of the Edo period, and was called butterfly violet, butterfly flower, or human face flower, but at that time improved varieties had only just been created in Europe, so these had already been introduced to Japan.
[Horticultural varieties, cultivation]
There are a great many varieties, divided into the large-flowered Garden Pansy type developed from V. tricolor , and the small-flowered Tufted Pansy type developed from V. cornuta , the latter generally known as Viola (illustration). Representative Garden Pansy varieties include the giant-flowered Majestic Giant and Imperial Giant (both domestic first-generation hybrids), the large-flowered Swiss Giant, and the medium-flowered 20th Century Series and Bedder, and most of the well-known varieties in recent years are domestic varieties.
