Hypericum olympicum, commonly known as the Mount Olympus St. John's wort,[2][Note 1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Hypericaceae found in the Balkans and Turkey and introduced to western Europe. It has been widely cultivated for centuries because of its large, showy flowers, which are far larger than those of most other species in Hypericum.[3]
