Viola pedunculata, the California golden violet, Johnny jump up, or yellow pansy, is a perennial yellow wildflower of the coast and coastal ranges in California and northwestern Baja California. However, the common name "Johnny jump up" is usually associated with Viola tricolor, an introduced garden annual.
