Hypericum harperi

chromosome number

Brathys to Hypericum, he created the nom. nov. for Brathys lanceolata due to the name H. lanceolatum already existing for an Old World species. After finishing his dissertation, Webb annotated the type of B. lanceolata/H. incertum and henceforth used the name H. harperi.^[1]

Oxypolis canbyi, and Lobelia boykinii.^[1]

internodes are 8–20 mm (0.31–0.79 in) long, about as long as the leaves. The sessile leaves are ascending and become deflexed when fading. The leaves are 10–30 mm (0.39–1.18 in) long and 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) wide. The lanceolate leaves have a plane margin with an acute apex and a cuneate base. There are one to three basal veins and a midrib either unbranched or possessing a single branch. The laminar glands are dense but inconspicuous. The inflorescence possess up to about 30 flowers with flowering branches up to 16 lower nodes. The whole inflorescence is a pyramidal to subcorymbiform shape. The pedicels are 1.5–2 mm (0.059–0.079 in) long; the bracts are 2–6 mm (0.079–0.236 in) long. The star-shaped flowers are 4–10 mm (0.16–0.39 in) in diameter, with orange-yellow petals that number about twice the sepals. The sepals are 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) long, with three to five veins. The sepals are typically unequal, lanceolate, and have linear glands that become punctiform distally. The 50 to 80 stamens are about 3–6 mm (0.12–0.24 in) long. The ovoid ovary is 1–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long with two to three styles ranging 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long. The seeds are 0.5 mm (0.020 in) long.^[2]
