native of the south of Europe, particularly near the Mediterranean ; 
introduced in 1820, and producing its yellow flowers from May to 
August. Height 2ft. This is one of the neatest species of the genus, 
and it well deserves a place on the hypericum mount, suggested 
under H. olf¥mpicum, p. 399., because itis not altogether hardy. As 
it is a slow-growing plant, and small in all its parts, it should not be 
placed immediately adjoining any of the rapid-growing, broad-leaved, 
or bulky species, unless required in the way of contrast. It would 
suit very well to accompany H. baleaéricum, H. ericdides, and H. 
Coris, which are also half-hardy species.
