Description

Hypericum elodes is a greyish perennial that forms mats, whereas most other plants in the genus Hypericum stand upright. Roots grow from the nodes on its creeping stems. The opposite leaves are hairy, pale green, and rounded. The spikes each bear a few yellow flowers that smell like resin. The five sepals are downy, and the margins of the five petals are lined with red dots.[4][5]

Habitat

Hypericum elodes grows in acidic conditions on marshy ground, bog pools, and pond margins.[4]

Distribution

Hypericum elodes grows in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain.[1] In Great Britain, it grows in the north and the west.[4]
