| That is Wild Violet. Definately not Ground Ivy, or what is commonly known as Ground Ivy. Local misifdentification can result in a plant having the wrong name locally. |

| Non-latin names are like nicknames. There are no right/wrong answers, just those more widely recognized. The uploded by johnuch is a viola. The plant kimmsr linked to is Glechoma. Whatever else anyone wants to call them, those are the only definitive answers. |
