Whatever it is, I would like to get rid of it.

Wild violets…
You will find they have a small mass of bulb-like nodules. These must also be removed to attain control.
I have both purple ones (front yard) and white flowered ones (back yard)

Why do people want to get rid of them? I have them in my yard I prefer a mix of plants to just grass especially low growing flowers like these

They can take over and crowd out other plants

They’re edible. The flowers are the best part. They were a favorite hiking snack for me back in my scouting days.

Viola Odorata, Sweet Viola. I have them all over my lawn and more each year. They are difficult to eradicate. The ones I have are neither sweet or fragrant.
We are blessed with yellow, white and purple violets. They exist peaceably with other vegetation and don’t appear inclined to take over anything. They’re cheery, and the flowers atop a potluck dish makes it special. Some folks even plant them on purpose! I appreciate ours, but life would be boring if we all liked the same thing. Sue
