Re: Which St John's Wort?

Apologies if this is a bit of ID overkill.

I was photographing this species yesterday afternoon and noticed something which also shows very clearly in your photo - the dark dots which are concentrated around the margins of the petals.

(The leaves of square-stemmed St John's Wort also have the translucent dots, by the way.)
