HYPERICUM 107 



Bot. Bee. Clitl, 1881. This var. was found at Wellington College in 

 a very dwarfed condition by the Rev. C. W. Penny. I have seen the 

 plant there ; it has something of the look of H. linear if olium, Vahl, 

 Symb.i. 65. The form H. lineolatum, Jord. in Boreau, Flore du Centre 

 Fr., ed. 3, ii. 123, in which the black glands on the petals coalesce 

 into longitudinal bands, is also found, but both this and the var. 

 angustifolium appear to merge into the ordinary form. It may be stated 

 that specimens of the narrow-leaved form retained their character in 

 cultivation ^ A very large form with very broad leaves, which are of 

 a darker colour, occurs in the Kifle Butts valley near South Hinksey. 

 This plant requires further study ; it is not unlikely a hybrid of 

 H. x>erforaium with H. acuium. 



H. perforatum is found in all the bordering counties.
