Never in my entire life have I seen hypericum grow as dense and tall shrubs as on top of Socotra (Skant)! I was mesmerized by the abundance of plants and flowers, and also relieved that goats leave at least this species alone. Please help me identify it – leave a comment 🙂 Endemic. Aperture: ƒ/16 […]

Som mange gule blomster (slik vi ser de) er også prikkperikum mørk i sentrum i UV lys – pollenknappene er også mørk, og danner dermed en kontrast til den lyse bakgrunnen på kronbladene – viktig for insekter. Camera: NIKON D7100 ISO: 2000 Shutter speed: 1/100 s
Compared to all the European species of Hypericum this is a very large plant, and I didn’t even see the resemblance. The spiral arrangement of the petals for one, and the leaves and the size for another. Grows commonly at this altidtude.
