    These black globules are very interesting - it should be the pale St John's-wort (Hypericum montanum), which is great, because it is a new species introduction ;)

      Thanks for improving my identification. I did compare the species, but now I see I didn't watched the differences good enough. Posted 10 years ago

        It is easy to mix them up, if you don't watch very closely. Hypericum montanum has these small black globules on short stems spicking up from the edge of the sepals, while Hypericum perforatum has black spots around the edge and scattered in the tissue of the sepals and petals.

    In the states, we have H. perforatum which can be used to treat depression. Interesting plants! Posted 10 years ago
