Viola tripartita in the strict sense always has at least some compound leaves or leaves with deep lobes. It has a restricted range, mostly in the southern Appalachians.

The other two species have unlobed and undivided leaves. They are apparently nearly allopatric. See this page (or references below) for their distinguishing characters.
