Abstract
Excitation of O III by He II is treated for sources over a useful range of densities to give accurate predictions of Bowen/non-Bowen line ratios. These are applied to recent observations of planetary nebulae to show that Bowen excitation increases monotonically with excitation class, and to deduce other important consequences.
