Hypericum Patulum Subsp. Hookerianum

Hooker's st. john's wort, scientifically known as Hypericum patulum subsp. hookerianum, is a rare and beautiful flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of the British Isles. This subspecies is distinguished by its vibrant yellow flowers and distinctive leaf patterns, which make it a standout in its natural habitat. It thrives in moist, shaded environments, often found in woodlands and along stream banks. Due to its limited distribution and delicate nature, it is considered a vulnerable species requiring conservation efforts. Its historical use in traditional medicine adds to its significance in both ecological and cultural contexts.
