Discussion
Helonias bullata is threatened in several eastern coastal states (R. D. Sutter 1984). Linnaeus cited Pennsylvania as the type locality, but probably his material came from the New Jersey pine barrens, and all Pennsylvania populations are introduced (E. T. Wherry et al. 1979; F. H. Utech 1980). This species has horticultural potential in wet gardens.
