|discussion=<p><i>Hypericum brachyphyllum</i> is bushier than <i>H. nitidum </i>subsp.<i> exile</i>, with relatively small flowers, capsules, and, usually, leaves, and shorter styles. The bushy habit, two-sided shoots, and glossy leaves without prominent base or apical hydathode, as well as the wet habitats, all distinguish it from <i>H. tenuifolium</i>.</p>
