    Wondering if this is Hypericum majus? It was growing in the same little inlet as the Virginia-marsh St John's-wort. (North Providence, RI) Thanks.

    Answer

    Dear sldz22, it is possible that you have photographed Hypericum majus. However, I would need additional images to confirm this for you. I need pictures of the side-view of the flower (to see the sepal shape). Fruits are ideal for distinguishing this species was lookalikes. And a close-up of leaf to see venation, etc. If you can return and get more images I may be able to assist.
