- ... that Hypericum punctatum is prone to haploid number irregularities? Source: "...often irregularities occur so that the chromosome complements, at the time of the second metaphase, instead of having the usual haploid number of eight have seven and nine." Hoar, Carl Sherman (1931). "Meiosis in Hypericum punctatum". Botanical Gazette. The University of Chicago Press. 92 (4): 396–406.
- ALT1:... that though caterpillars often feed on the leaves of Hypericum punctatum, the foliage is toxic to mammals? Source: "...caterpillars of the moth Nedra ramosula (Gray Half-spot) feed on the foliage. Mammalian herbivores usually don't consume this plant because the leaves contain hypericin - a photosensitive toxin." Dr. John Hilty (2017). "Spotted St. John's Wort". Illinois Wildflowers.

- @Pagliaccious: I would've passed this article - I'd assume good faith for offline sources and the entire article is well-cited. However, some prose is copy-pasted from here, which is a problem.
- @Juxlos: I'm unsure of how DYK works in this regard, but I have reworked the ecology section the best I could. I cannot access the Illinois wildflower website which is strange but I tried to rewrite the hypericin section that I remember from the page. If you'd like to look, I believe every book I referenced is available on Google Books besides Gray's Manual of Botany. Can the DYK continue or is the review over after this? Thanks, Pagliaccious (talk) 10:48, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, it should be fine now - I'll check it more thoroughly in a bit. Juxlos (talk) 12:59, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
