• Question

  Good morning, I asked the Hypericum majus question. I don't think it's H.majus, but more likely H. boreale or H. mutilum, probably H.mutilum? The bracts appear tiny, and don't look like leaves, which is, I understand, a distinguishing characteristic. Am I on the right track? Thnx.

  Answer

  Without capsule/ovary shape, it will be difficult to determine which species you have. Assuming you have a capsule that is abruptly tapered (somewhat rounded) at the apex, then Hypericum mutilum would make sense based on the bracts you are observing. Best wishes.
