|discussion=<p><i>Gaylussacia bigeloviana</i> has been confused with <i>G. dumosa</i>; there are points of difference, including plant height, corolla size, vestiture, habitat, and the northeastern-centered range of <i>G. bigeloviana</i>. Occurrences in North Carolina are in large, peat-based pocosins that lie mostly within Carolina bay geomorphological formations. The single South Carolina population occurs in an Atlantic white cedar wetland.</p>
