Viola scotophylla Jordan (and consequently V. alba subsp. scotophylla) is listed as a synonym of V. alba subsp. alba in POWO (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:869223-1).
According to the latest studies V. alba 'scotophylla' is just a morphotype with presence of anthocyanins (Marcussen T., 2003. Evolution, phylogeography, and taxonomy within the Viola alba complex (Violaceae). Plant Systematics and Evolution, 237: 51-74).
