HYPERICACEAE<br />
Hypericum concinnum<br />
Gold Wire<br />
H. concinnum, and H. perforatum might seem to be the same<br />
but at a second glance you may see distinct characteristics that<br />
set them apart. While they both have flowers that are 2 inches<br />
long, H. concinnum consists <strong>of</strong> a more robust appearance. The<br />
leaves are linear resembling the shaped <strong>of</strong> a canoe, with sharp<br />
tapered ends. The flower is composed <strong>of</strong> five yellow petals with<br />
pin-head, needle-like stamen.<br />
HYPERICACEAE<br />
Hypericum perforatum<br />
Klamath Weed<br />
Unlike H. concinnum, H. perforatum is found growing<br />
abundantly throughout California. While both have opposite<br />
leaves, H. perforatum leaves are flat, elliptical and with blunt<br />
tips. This plant in particular is poisonous to livestock but<br />
medically beneficial to humans.<br />
