Japonicum is represented in our flora at all, it is our western H. anagalloides. 
This last named species approaches very nearly our eastern H. mutilum, to 
which species H. gymnanthum has been referred. This is the closest relation- 
ship we can trace between H. Japonicum and H. gymnanthum. Tf these two 
are one, then must H. mutilum and H. anagalloides follow, and with such a 
limitation our species of Hypericum could be reduced to very few. 
27. H. Canadense L. A half to a foot or more high: leaves 
linear to linear lanceolate, glandular dotted beneath, mostly ta- 
pering to the sessile 3-nerved base, half to an inch or more long, 
‘a line or two wide: flowers in loose cymes: stamens 5 to 10 
capsule very acutely conical, 2 or 3 lines long, longer or shorter 
than the sepals—Spec. 785; Torr. Fl. N. Y. 1. 89; Torr. &

nipeg valley. : 
Exceedingly variable in size. The extreme forms may be grouped under 
the following varieties: 
Var. major Gray. Stems much stouter and taller: leaves 
larger, an inch or two long, 4 to 6 lines wide, lanceolate, more or 
less clasping, often very acute: flowers in larger more crow ed 
cymes: sepals long pointed: capsules larger.—Manual, 86. 
From Canada to Pennsylvania, Illinois, and about the Great Lakes. 
Var. minimum Chois. Dwarf, 1 to 3 inches high, simple, few- 
flowered: leaves oblong, obtuse, 4 to 5 lines long, a line or two 
wide, smaller and more erowded below.—DC. Prodr. i. 55) 
Hook. Fl. Bor.-Am. i. 110. 
On wet rocks, Canada, to Wisconsin (Lapham), and “Cypress Hills,” N. W- 
T. (Macoun).

* * * Bushy branching, with rigid erect black-dotted stems and branches: 
leaves very slender and rigid or minute, erect or appressed: flowers scattered 
along the upper part of leafy branches. 
_ 28. H. Drummondii Torr & Gray. Stem and alternate 
branches rather stout, 10 to 30 inches high: leaves linear-subu- 
late, erect, a fourth to an inch long, one-nerved: flowers pedi- 
cellate: stamens 10 to 20: capsule ovate, about 2 lines long, not 
longer than the sepals; seeds large, oval, strongly ribbed an 
transversely lacunose, brownish yellow.—FI. i. 165.
