Hypericum monanthemum is a species of flowering plant of the St. John's wort family (Hypericaceae) which is native to the Himalayan mountains.
Hypericum monanthemum is a perennial herb that varies in height from 0.1 to 0.4 meters (0.33 to 1.31 ft) tall. It can be found growing entirely upright, along the ground and upright towards the ends of the stems, or entirely along the ground. The base at the center of the stems is rooting and branching, and the stems are scattered across it, clustered in groups, or carpeting the whole base. It is often a very slender plant, and is usually unbranched in its upper parts, though it can rarely have a single pair of branches just below the inflorescence which are pointed upwards.[1]
