***Cubelium concolor*** (synonym *Hybanthus concolor*), commonly known as **eastern green violet**,[1] is a flowering plant in the violet family ([Violaceae](/source/Violaceae)). It is native to eastern [North America](/source/North_America),[2] where it ranges from [Ontario](/source/Ontario) south to [Florida](/source/Florida), and from [Vermont](/source/Vermont) west to [Kansas](/source/Kansas) and [Oklahoma](/source/Oklahoma).[3]

## Description

Green violet is a shrub-like herb that grows to a height of 30 cm to 1 m. Its inconspicuous flowers are small, close to the stem, and green.[4] It blooms from May to June in Ontario and from April to June in Connecticut.

## Habitat

The natural habitat of *Cubelium concolor* is in nutrient rich, [calcareous](/source/Calcareous) forests and woodlands, typically in mesic or bottomland conditions.[5] It is found less frequently in dry forests and [glades](/source/Calcareous_glade).[5][6] It is a fairly conservative species, and is only found in areas with an intact native herbaceous layer.[7]

Most of the Canadian populations are located along the [Niagara Escarpment](/source/Niagara_Escarpment), a prime habitat for green violet.
