Sone interesting information about Flett was researched by Roger Beckett in the Olympic Mountain Rescue Newsletter of July, 2004. He writes:
“Viola flettii was named by Piper in 1898 "in honour of Mr. J. B. Flett, an able botanist of the Northwest, who was the first to collect it." Flett collected that first specimen in July 1897 from near the timberline near Mount Constance, in the Olympic Mountains.The info comes from Viola Brainerd Baird's book "Wild Violets of North America", 1942.”
