− | Hypericum elatum, Dry. (H. grandifolium, Choisy. H. multiflorum, Hort., not HBK. Androsaemum webbianum, Spach). Shrub or subshrub, 3-4 ft. high, with slightly 2-edged branchlets: lvs. ovate-oblong, acute or obtusish, often subcordate at the base, 1 ½ -3 in. long: fls. 1-1 ½ in. across, in several- to many-fld. terminal panicles; sepals ovate or ovate-lanceolate, obtuse or sometimes acutish, about ¼ in. long; stamens in 5 fascicles; styles longer than ovary: caps, ovate-oblong. July. Canary Isls., Madeira. R.F.G. 6:352. W.&.B. 2:85.—H. multiflorum, Hort., has been considered a hybrid between H.elatum and H. androsaemum, but the plant cult, at the Arnold Arboretum does not show any influence of the latter species and is apparently only a form of H. datum with more numerous and somewhat smaller fls. | + | Hypericum elatum, Dry.
