Hypericum mysorense is a species of flowering plant in the Hypericaceae family.
It is primarily found at high elevations in the Western Ghats of India and the mountains of Sri Lanka,[1] but was also reported from Socotra by Isaac Bayley Balfour in the 19th century.
[2] It was studied to improve understanding of endosperm formation in Hypericum,[3] and the identification of a number of xanthone derivatives from this species contributed to the chemotaxonomic description of subfamily Hypericoideae.
[4][5] Hypericum mysorense has been used to treat wounds as part of the Ayurvedic system of traditional medicine.
[6] Some research into the possibility of antiherpetic properties in H. mysorense extracts has been performed.
