Botanical Insights: Explore the intricacies of St. John's Wort

A Little Botanical Information on St. John's Wort

Description: Hypericum perforatum, a perennial plant of the Hypericaceae family, is commonly known as St. John's Wort. It features extensive, creeping rhizomes, and its erect stems can reach approximately 3 feet in height, branching in the upper section. The narrow, oblong, yellow-green leaves grow along the stem, exhibiting transparent dots throughout the tissue and occasional black dots on the lower surface. These opposing, stalkless leaves are roughly 1/2 inch long.

The five-petaled flowers of St. John's Wort, bright yellow with evident black dots, measure up to 1 inch across. They appear in broad cymes at the ends of upper branches from late spring to early to mid-summer. The pointed sepals of the flowers have glandular dots, and the flowers boast many stamens uniting at the base into three bundles. When seed pods or flower buds are crushed, a reddish/purple liquid is released, unlike when the flowers themselves are crushed.

St. John's Wort is listed as a noxious weed in over twenty countries.

Common Names & Nomenclature: St. John's Day on June 24th, coinciding with the plant's blossoming and harvest, contributes to its common name. The genus name, Hypericum, is derived from the Greek words "hyper," meaning "above," and "eikon," meaning "picture," referencing the plant's traditional use in warding off evil. The leaves, when held to the light, showcase conspicuous translucent dots, giving them a 'perforated' appearance, hence the Latin name.

Also Known As: St. John’s Wort, Tipton's Weed, Rosin Rose, Goatweed, Chase-Devil, Klamath Weed, Common St. John's Wort, Perforate St. John's Wort
