{{Inc|
Heloniopsis (Greek, like Helonias). Liliaceae. Herbaceous plants resembling the swamp-pink, Helonias bullata, in the color of flowers, but the flowers are larger and fewer, and the leaves numerous and tufted.
Scapose plants, with fls. few in a raceme or sometimes solitary: style a conspicuous feature, being long and red, tipped with a purple undivided stigma, while in Helonias the style is very short and 3-cut. Both genera are separated from numerous allied genera by the septicidal dehisence of their caps. The fls. are bell-shaped, drooping, deep pink, 6-lobed, with 6 red filaments and purple-blue stamens.—The genus has about 4 species in Japan and Formosa.
