Hypericum x inodorum Mill.

Shrub 0-6-2 m tall, bushy with numerous stems from branching but not rooting base, with branches erect. Stems 2-lined when young, eventually terete; internodes 2-8-5 mm long, shorter than to exceeding leaves; bark scaling. Leaves sessile to subsessile, sometimes amplexicaul, rarely with goat-like smell when crushed; lamina 35-110 x 20-60 mm, oblong-lanceolate to broadly ovate, subacute to rounded, margin plane, base rounded to cordate, somewhat paler beneath, not glaucous, papyraceous; venation: 4-5 pairs of ascending main lateral veins, with tertiary reticulum ± prominent on both sides; laminar glands small; intramarginal glands dense. Inflorescence (l-)3-c. 23-flowered, from 1-2 nodes without condensed internode, corymbose to subcorymbose, with branches ± narrowly ascending, without accessory flowers, often with 1-3-flowered branches from node below; pedicels 6-15 mm long; bracts reduced, lanceolate to subulate. Flowers 15-30 mm in diam.; buds globose, rounded. Sepals 5-9.5 x 2-5 mm, imbricate, markedly unequal, deflexed and enlarging after anthesis, persistent at least until fruit ripens, oblong or oblong- lanceolate to broadly ovate , subacute to rounded, 5-9-veined from base with veins ± branched and reticulate; laminar glands mostly punctiform; inframarginal glands dense. Petals golden yellow, not tinged red, spreading to incurved, 8-15 x 4.5-7 mm, c. 1.5-2 x sepals, oblanceolate to narrowly obovate, without or almost without apiculus. Stamen fascicles each with 20-30 stamens, longest 10-20 mm long. c. 1.2-1.3 x petals. Ovary 3.5-6.5 x 2-5 mm, ellipsoid to ovoid-ellipsoid, subacute to subrounded; styles (6-)8-16 mm long, c. 1-2.5 x ovary, erect, obtusely divergent in the upper 1.3-1.4; stigmas narrowly capitate. Capsule 6-13 x 4-8 mm, ellipsoid or ovoid-ellipsoid to cylindric-ellipsoid, obtuse to rounded, thin-walled and ± fleshy, maturing from cerise or bright red to dark brown, sublucent, sometimes dehiscent at the apex. Seeds reddish-brown, c. 1.2-1.5 mm long, partially or rarely completely unilaterally winged, sometimes with terminal winged appendages.
