The fruit is an achene with a pappus.
Helenium vernale is a North American species of flowering plant in the aster family. It is native to the southeastern United States, from Louisiana to the Carolinas. It is a perennial herb up to 80 cm tall, with small wings running down the sides of the stem. Each plant generally produces only 1-3 hemispherical flower heads, each on its own flower stalk. Each head can contain up to 800 minuscule disc flowers, each 4.6-6.0 mm across, yellow at the base, yellow or yellow-brown near the tips. There are also 13-30 yellow ray flowers, and the fruit is an achene with a pappus. Commonly known as Savanna sneezeweed or spring sneezeweed, it is a popular garden plant.
