Viola bertolonii is a species of violet known by the common name Bertoloni's pansy, belonging to the Violaceae family.

The genus name, derived from the Latin word “viere” meaning “to tie”, possibly refers to the flexuosity of these plants.

The biological form of Viola bertolonii is hemicryptophyte scapose,[1] as its overwintering buds are situated just below the soil surface and the floral axis is more or less erect with a few leaves.

Viola bertolonii is a rare herbaceous perennial plant with a prostrate-ascending stem about 5–15 centimetres (2.0–5.9 in) high.

It grows on ophiolites in mountain environments in meadows and rocky slopes, at an altitude of 600–1,000 metres (2,000–3,300 ft) above sea level.
