Etymology of Hypericum triquetrifolium: The name of the genus, "Hypericum", derives from Ancient Greek "ὑπερικόν" [yperikón], a variant of "ὑπέρεικος" [ypérikos], from "ὑπέρ" [ypér], meaning "over" and "ἐρείκη" [eriki], meaning "an area of open, uncultivated land, typically on acid, sandy soil"; the name alludes to its favorite habitat. "Triquetrifolium" in Latin means "with triangular leaves".
There are a total of 8 Hypericum kinds (species and subspecies) in the Cypriot habitat, and one of them appears exclusively in the occupied Cyprus north. Three of the eight kinds are unfortunately endangered to extinction.
One of the eight Hypericum species that someone can observe in Cyprus. Actually, this should be the most common one. It is seen at an altitude of up to 1375 metres, but it is not so common in the central Mesaoria plain. Hypericum triquetrifolium's flowering period is from May until August.
