Remarks
Etymology: xanthopotamica is a combination of the Greek substantives xanthos - yellow, and potamos - river. The epithet connects the viola with the immediate surroundings of its type locality, where the narrow river it is situated beside passes through a dramatic yellow, mineral-stained, stratified rockscape which forms the immediate valley sides, and the water itself is the same conspicuous colour (english)
