The specific epithet majus means "larger". The plant has a diploid number of 16. TaxonomyHypericum majus is a more northern relative of Hypericum pauciflorum. H. majus differs from its relative in its annual habit, thinner leaves, smaller flowers, and doubly branching inflorescence. In the past the species was the western part of a vicariant species including the more eastern Hypericum canadense. The two species became sympatric when north-eastern North America became glaciated and the two now hybridize, most notably in Wisconsin. Hybrids of the two species are shorter than H. majus and have leaves of intermediate length, width, and vein number.[1] H. majus also hybridizes with Hypericum mutilum subsp. mutilum in Maine and with Hypericum mutilum subsp. boreale in Wisconsin and Michigan. The hybrid of latter can be distinguished by its intermediate seed capsule shape, similar to H. × dissimulatum though with more broad leaves.[1]DescriptionHypericum majus is a perennial bearing short leafy shoots with solitary or tufted stems. The erect and stout herb grows {{convert|10-70|cm|abbr=on}} tall and has a taproot. The roots are fibrous and lack rhizomes or runners but can grow short offshoots in autumn. The four-angled, squarish, green stems can become ancipitous. The stems tend to branch more in the upper half of the plant but branches can grow from the lower half when the terminal meristem is damaged. The internodes are {{convert|1-4|cm|abbr=on}}, the upper of which can exceed the leaves. The simple or opposite, lanceolate leaves are {{convert|1.5-4.5|cm|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-15|mm|abbr=on}} wide. Leaves are erect or spreading, planar, and chartaceous. The leaves have acute to rounded apices, cuneate bases, and an entire margin. The upper leaves have five to seven veins arising from their rounded, sessile or clasping base. The basal leaves are more purplish and crowded, and measure {{convert|4-5|mm|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2-3|mm|abbr=on}} wide. The tertiary reticulation is dense as are the laminar glands that create the punctiform pattern. The terminal inflorescence is three to thirty flowered. The branching of the inflorescence is mostly dichasial, with ascending pairs of flowering branches rising five nodes below. The entire inflorescence is corymbiform to cylindric, though in smaller plants the inflorescence is a simple, nearly naked cyme. The cymes are subtended by slender bracts measuring {{convert|3-4|mm|abbr=on}} long. Pedicels are {{convert|3-5|mm|abbr=on}} long and the star-shaped flowers are {{convert|6-7|mm|abbr=on}} wide, with the central flower being the largest. The sepals are lance-attenuate, measuring {{convert|4-7|mm|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|0.8-1.5|mm|abbr=on}} wide. Two sepals are typically longer and wider than the other three. Sepals have three to five veins, with a visible midvein, and lack the punctiform glands. The golden yellow, occasionally tinged pink petals are {{convert|3.5-6|mm|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1.25-1.75|mm|abbr=on}} wide, equal or shorter than the sepals. The twelve to twenty-one stamens are obscurely five-fascicled, the longest measuring {{convert|2.5-3.5|mm|abbr=on}}. The sessile pistil is about {{convert|3|mm|abbr=on}} long, ovoid in shape. The ovoid to ellipsoid ovary is {{convert|1.5-2|mm|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|0.8-1|mm|abbr=on}} wide. The three carpels are at first distinct and become indistinct.[2] The three styles are {{convert|0.6-1|mm|abbr=on}} long. The capsule is conic-ellipsoid, measuring {{convert|4-8|mm|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2.5-3.5|mm|abbr=on}} wide. The seeds are {{convert|0.5-0.7|mm|abbr=on}} long.[3][4]H. majus can be distinguished from other small-flowered Hypericum species by its leaves with five to seven veins.[5]The herb flowers from June to September.[6] Habitat and distributionHypericum majus grows in wet or dry open soil in bogs, marshes, ditches, meadows, woodlands, and other damp habitats.[3] It prefers elevations between {{convert|0-1200|m|abbr=on}}.[4]The herb occurs in New Brunswick and Quebec to southern British Columbia. To the south it is distributed from Maine to Washington and as far south as Colorado, Kansas, and Ohio.[3] It was introduced into France by 1955, into Germany by 1948, and into Japan by 1974, though the method of introduction is unknown.[4] References1. ^{{cite book |page= 626 |title= New England Wild Flower Society's Flora Novae Angliae: A Manual for the Identification of Native and Naturalized Higher Vascular Plants of New England |author= Arthur Haines |edition= illustrated |publisher= Yale University Press |year= 2011 |isbn= 9780300171549}} {{Hypericum species Navbox}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q17812368}}2. ^{{cite book |page= 17 |title= The St. John's-worts of Canada (Guttiferae) |last1= Gillett |first1= John Montague |last2= Robson |first2= Norman Keith Bonner |journal= The St. John's-worts of Canada (Guttiferae) |number= 11 |year= 1981 |url= https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/178727#page/23/mode/1up |publisher= National Museums of Canada}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book |title=Gray's Manual of Botany |author= Merrit Lyndon Fernald |year= 1970 |editor= R.
