 native of the south of Europe, particularly near the Mediterranean ; . 



introduced in 1820, and producing its yellow flowers from May to ' 

 August Height 2 ft. This is one of the neatest species of the genus, . j 



and it well deserves a place on the hypericum mount, suggested . f 



under //. ol^mpicum, p. S9S»., because it is 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, ' 1(8 



or bulky species, unless required in the way of contrast. It would '^-tt^-i li^-^ 



suit very well to accompany //. baleiricum, H. friciJldes, and H. W^ j^ 



COris, which are also half-hardy species.
