Baby Jump Up is a creeping perennial herb, with small yellow
flowers. Flower-stalks are slender, mostly longer than the leaves; sepals
green, the outer ones 8-10 mm long, ovate, omewhat ointed, blunt at the base,
hairless. Flowers are bright yellow, about 1 cm long.
Oppositely arranged leaves are ovate to elliptic, with a wedge-shaped base,
and margin coarsely toothed, 1-1.5 x 0.4-0.9 cm. The tip is
blunt. The flowers look like miniature version of certain
Viola cultivars called Jump-Up, which probably
is the source of the name Baby Jump Up. Baby Jump Up is native to subtropical
Americas, occasionally naturalised in India. It is found in the Himalayas
upto altitudes of 1300 m.
