About Hypericum anagalloides Cham. & Schltdl.
Hypericum anagalloides Cham. & Schltdl. is a species of flowering plant in the St. John's wort family, Hypericaceae. Its common names include creeping St. John's-wort, tinker's penny, and bog St. John's-wort. It is native to western North America, ranging from British Columbia to California and Nevada, where it grows in wet habitats such as mountain meadows and streambanks. This is a stoloniferous herb that can be annual or perennial, and it grows into lush green patches on the ground. Stems grow prostrate along the ground, sometimes rising somewhat upright at their tips, reaching a maximum length of around 25 centimeters. They are often much shorter, forming a carpet-like mat. Every round or oval green leaf is covered in visible glands, and measures 4 to 15 millimeters long. Flowers can grow singly or in clustered groups. Each flower has five oval-shaped petals that are usually golden yellow, plus up to 25 stamens with yellow or white anthers.
