    Hello, Is this Triadenum virginicum — Virginia marsh-St. John's-wort? Found at a reservoir edge in North Providence, RI growing with coastal sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia) and maybe purple loosestrife(?). Thanks.

    Answer

    Dear sldz22, yes, it does look like Hypericum virginicum. Note that the genus Triadenum has been found to be nested within Hypericum (and subsumed under that genus). Best wishes.
