Hypericum olympicum (Mt. Olympus). 
This species requires a somewhat sheltered spot 
on the border or rockwork in good loam. It may 
be cut down directly after flowering. 
Hypericum olympicum gracile (Asia Minor). 
Treat like Hypericum olympicum, although this 
variety deserves a choicer position than the type on 
account of its finer and more beautiful foliage. 
Hypericum repens (E. Europe). 
Treat like Hypericum Coris. 
Hypericum reptans (Himalaya). 
Treat like Hypericum Coris. 
Hypericum tomentosum (Mediterranean Region). 
This Hypericum is not quite hardy, and should 
be planted where a little protection will be had in 
winter, as its woolly foliage holds moisture. 
Hypericum: Other kinds. 
There are several smaller species which all do 
equally well, in a full south aspect, in ordinary gritty 
loam. 
Incarvillea compacta (N.W. China). 
Plant, in a well-drained, sunny position, on the 
flat facing south, in fibrous loam from 15in. to 18in. 
deep, the crown being placed 1}in. below the surface. 
In spring, top-dress with fibrous loam. 
Incarvillea grandiflora (China). 
Treat like Incarvillea compacta, except that this 
species, being a smaller plant, should have a position 
nearer the eye.
