Viola nephrophylla was named by Edward Lee Greene in 1896 from specimens he collected near Montrose, Colorado. The species name, nephrophylla, is from the Greek for "kidney shaped leaves".[3]
Its habitats include moist meadows and open woods.[2]
It is listed endangered in Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio, as threatened in New Hampshire,[4] and as a special concern in Connecticut.[5]
The Ramah Navajo use the plant as a ceremonial emetic.[6]
