35099. HYPERICUM HOOKERIANUM. 
From Prof. Alwin Berger, 
La Mortola, Ventimiglia, Italy,
A small, ornamental bush of much
promise, native of the elevated regions
of northern India and the Himalayas,
from 6,000 to 12,000 feet, but not perfectly 
hardy in northern localities.
The bush has evergreen leaves and
with its large single flowers of a rich
yellow color, is very showy and attractive.
