| Hypericum forrestii | |
Hypericum forrestii is a species of flowering plant in the family Hypericaceae native to Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces in China, and northeastern Burma. It is a semi-evergreen shrub growing to 1.2 m (4 ft) tall by 1.5 m (5 ft) broad, with oval leaves which turn red in autumn, and bowl-shaped yellow flowers with prominent stamens in late summer.[1][2]
Common names include Forrest's tutsan and Forrest's St. John's wort.
It has been recorded as a garden escape in locations in the British Isles,[3] and as an invasive species.[4] It may be under-recorded due to confusion with other hypericums such as H. 'Hidcote'.[3]
This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[5] It was named in honour of George Forrest (1873-1932), who discovered it.
