Helonia bullata, Linn. Lvs. several or numerous, thin, dark green, clustered at the base of the scape, 6-15 in. long, ½ -2 in. wide, with fine parallel nerves: scape stout, bracted below: in very early spring it bears a hollow scape 1-2 ft. high, crowned by a raceme 1-3 in. long, composed of perhaps 30 pink or purplish fls., each ½ in. across, 6-lobed, and with 6 blue anthers. B.M. 747. L.B.C. 10:961. B.B. 1:402.—Helonias, which is perfectly hardy, is so easily prop, by division that it is hardly worth while to grow from seed. Under cult., also, it seems rarely to mature perfect seed. It multiplies itself rapidly from offsets, a single plant often providing a dozen others in a season. It ia found growing in dense shade and also in the full glare of the sun, always in wet sphagnum bog in the latter case, while in the shade it sometimes spreads to dry ground. Although one of the showiest of all American bog-plants, it is comparatively little known here, though better in England. It makes an elegant pot-plant. Harlan P. Kelsey. Wilhelm Miller.
