List of Hypericum species

The genus Hypericum contains the following 490 species, according to The Plant List, divided by sections.Hypericum species are found most densely in Europe and parts of the Middle East. They are a rather unusual genus in the fact that Norman Robson created a genus-wide monograph in 1977, dividing the genus into distinct sections that are still used today despite the genus's size A phylogenetic study was completed for Hypericum, showing that the genus Triadenum is likely a clade in Hypericum.
