Hypericum elodeoides subsp. elodeoides (Nomenclature)
Diagnostic description:
Leaves usually acute to subacute, prominently nerved beneath, with conspicuous pale laminar glands. Bracts and upper leaves glandular-auriculate. Sepals and bracts with glandular-ciliate margin
Distribution:
Distribution of species except Manipur and Myanmar.
Notes:
The Yunnan specimens sometimes have rounded leaves, but they are much longer than those of subsp. wardii. One specimen from Bhutan (Chenkaphung, E. of Thimpu, c. 3000 m, 20 July 1979 (fl & fr), Grierson & Long 2798 (BM, E*)), is morphologically intermediate between H. elodeoides and H. himalaicum and would appear to be of hybrid origin.
