In my paper above cited, I mention that the present plant 

 is referable to Hypericum attenuatum Chois., although there have 

 been some doubts about its being identical with Choisy's plant. 

 While studying here at Kew, I have compared the plant with 

 the type of the species, and found that they are so very different 

 that it hardly needs pointing out. The Formosan plant conies 

 very near H. perforatum ; but differs from it in having obtuse or 

 even rounded sepals. li. perforatum has usually very acute sepals,
