Although the article says that Wahlenbergia are not found in North America, at least one species, Wahlenbergia Marginata, commonly known as Southern Rockbell, is found across the Southeast United States and although it originated in Asia, it has become common enough to be considered naturalized and some wildflower sites consider it as good as a native. I have put a picture of it on my user page, and anyone who wants to can insert it into this article. The photo was taken on 4/1/2024 in the US state of Georgia.

@Runtape: Hello Runtape, and thank you for your contribution here. I've made some small changes to the Wahlenbergia article, from "found" to "native". The article Wahlenbergia marginata is red-linked, waiting for your contribution. (Happy to help with that.) According to Plants of the World Online, W. marginata is native to Southeast Asia and introduced to the southern U.S. and Brazil.^[1] Gderrin (talk) 03:55, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
