Common St. john's-wort (Hypericum perforatum)

Not quite in flower yet, this non-native plant has become more scarce in recent times thanks to the release of a Chrysomelid beetle, the Klamath Weed Beetle, to control this species. This is not to say that St. John's-wort is not still common, it is, but not as much as before. At FWG, the last time I saw a large stand it was being chewed to bits by the beetle, and I've only seen isolated plants since then.
