Eight entities of the genus Hypericum that spontaneously grow on the Central Italy (Appennino Umbro-Marchigiano) have been studied under the morphological, histochemical and phytochemical aspects. From the morphological standpoint, they differ in the shape and size of flowers and leaves and in the dimension and distribution of the secretory structures through the various parts of the plant. It has been possible, with the histochemical and phytochemical studies, to localize and identify some secondary metabolites inside the secretory structures.
