Hypericum dolabriforme, the straggling St. Johnswort or glade St. John's-wort, is a species of flowering plant in the St. John's wort family. It is native to the Southeastern United States where it is found in calcareous glades.[1] It has a small native range, being found primarily in Kentucky and Tennessee with range extensions into northern Alabama and Georgia and southern Indiana.[2]
It is a semi-woody perennial that produces yellow flowers in the summer. It is distinguished from the similar Hypericum sphaerocarpum by having unequal sepals and over one hundred stamens.[3]
