Hypericum prolificum |
Hypericum prolificum, known as shrubby St. John's wort, [3] is a deciduous shrub in the genus Hypericum. It was named for its "prolific" number of stamens. [4]
Hypericum prolificum is a shrub growing up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) tall with elliptic to oblanceolate leaves up to 70 mm (2.8 in) long and 15 mm (0.59 in) broad. [5] The flowerheads have between 1 and 9 flowers, each 15–30 mm (0.59–1.18 in) across with 5 golden yellow petals and numerous stamens. [5] The ovary is usually three-parted, though may have up to five parts in some individuals. [5]
Hypericum prolificum is native to the central and eastern United States and Ontario. [3] [6] Habitats include riparian areas, slopes, thickets, swamp edges, and oak woodlands. [3] [7]
