|discussion=<p><i>Hypericum apocynifolium</i> has been included in <i>H. nudiflorum</i>; it can be distinguished from the latter by the fewer, larger flowers with relatively longer, persistent sepals, the larger, thicker-walled capsules, and the seeds, which are ridged and straight rather than carinate and curved.</p><!--
