|discussion=<p><i>Hypericum dolabriforme</i> is superficially similar to <i>H. sphaerocarpum</i>, to which W. P. Adams (1962) related it. Apart from the narrow leaves and unequal sepals, it is much nearer morphologically to <i>H. myrtifolium</i> (for example, in the wide-spreading inflorescence, numbers of stamens, and ovoid-conic capsules). <i>Hypericum</i> bissellii, described from a plant growing in Southington, Connecticut, is unlikely to be indigenous in that state.</p>
