. Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) Botany. STUDIES IN THE GENUS HYPERICUM L. , Kingdon Ward 1843 (E); Myitkina, 4-8 km from Kangfang, , NawMuPa 17415 (K). CULTIVATED. Specimens seen from England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Ger- many, Finland, and the H. forrestii is closely related to H. beanii, differing from it in having a terete stem, more ovate, rounded leaves, a more deeply cyathiform flower with rounded sepals, somewhat relatively shorter stamens and usually relatively shorter styles, and a broadly ovoid rather than ovoid to ovoid-conic capsule. H. forrestii usually occurs at much higher altitudes than does H. beanii, and, since Forrest's plants that were the original source of cultivated material were collected at c. 3000-4000 m, it has proved to be quite hardy in northern Europe. H. forrestii therefore replaced H. beanii in popularity as a garden plant in the period from c. 1920-1950; but it, in turn, was replaced by H. x 'Hidcote'. 287 42x(53x). Hypericum x dummeri N.

Type: cultivated at Limpsfield, Surrey, , Robson 1901 (BM!, holotype). Shrub up to c. 0-7 m tall, lower and with branches more spreading-ascending than in H. forrestii. Stems red, 4-angled but not ancipitous when young, eventually terete; internodes 25-35 mm long, shorter than leaves; bark reddish-brown. Leaves petiolate, with petiole c. 2 mm long; lamina 35-48 x 18-22 mm, oblong-ovate, rounded to subapiculate, base cuneate, markedly paler or somewhat glaucous beneath, subcoriaceous; venation: c. 4 pairs o
