Hypericum moserianum, Andrei Gold Flower. Hybrid raised by Moser, of France, from H, patulum and H. calycinum, generally resembling the latter but lacking its coarseness, and surpassing both parents in good qualities. A glabrous subshrub 2 ft. high, erect, with the tips of the branches pendulous: lvs. similar to those of H. calycinum, ovate, obtuse and mucronulate, opaque, 2 in. long, dark green above, pale below: infl. with 1-3 fls. to the stalk, which are golden yellow, 2-2 ¾ in. diam., blooming for some time; sepals foliaceous. unequal, oval to oblong; corolla of broad rounded petals, their color heightened by the many tufted yellow stamens with reddish anthers: caps, top-shaped. July, Aug. R.H. 1889, p. 464. Gn. 54:490. R.B. 16:97. G.C. III. 10:333.— Not hardy in New England, but successful farther south. Not good individually, but good in masses, better adapted to the herbaceous border than the shrubbery. May be used as a pot- plant. Var. tricolor. Variegated form of white and green edged with red. Habit like H. patulum, but more horizontal, the lvs. smaller and narrower: fls. one- fourth the size of those of H . Moserianum but similar. Less hardy. J. 8, p. 186.
