Notes . – Hypericum dolabriforme is endemic to the southeastern regions of the United States (from southern Indiana to northwestern Georgia ) ( Robson, 1996 ). Only a single specimen exists in Ventenat’s herbarium, i.e. the Michaux collection from Kentucky . Michaux (1803: 81) validated the name H. procumbens Michx. [nom. illeg.] [non Desf. ex Willd.] based on the same material. Robson (1996: 123) implicitly lectotypied Ventenat’s name by referring to the unique specimen at G. A collection of this species given by Ventenat to Jussieu from Cels’s garden in 1803 is here considered as original material (P-JU n° 11832 [P00667211]).
