Cruickshank Sanctuary: St. John's-wort, August 30, 2010

The main purpose of this visit was to try to determine which species of St. John's-wort is in the sanctuary. I only found two species: fourpetal and coastalplain St. John's-wort. Although I had previously declared that some were Atlantic St. John's-wort, I was unable to find any that matched that description (6-angled stems). All that were not fourpetal were coastalplain (stems with 2 wings).
