Hypéricum miutilum. 
Is another of the smaller St. John’s-worts which is found 
everywhere in low, moist ground. It is especially to be noticed 
because of its stamens, from five to twelve, being so much 
fewer than those of other members of the genus. H.adpressum 
and H. maculatum are also varieties that thrive best in moist 
soil. H. prolificum, Plate CXXIII.
