Identification: Is this GOTU KOLA?

Hi,

Can any kind soul here tell me if this is gotu kola?

Your opinions(even if you're not sure) would be highly appreciated.

Here's more picture of the flowers and roots of our gotu kola.
Is this the real gotu kola?

 

Looks like a Viola sp. producing semi-cleistogamous‎ blossoms.

It would appear Gotu Kola could be a Poster Child for
demonstrating avoidance of common names especially
for medicinal plants. Fortunately Viola is relatively non-toxic!

 

Thank you Saltcedar.

I bought another gotu kola plant from another farm.
I saw some little flowers and I took some pictures.
