St. John’s Wort can be visually recognised by leaf and flower type. Yellow, five petalled flowers approximately 20mm across occur between October to January (Late Spring/Early Summer - Southern Hemisphere). Leaves exhibit obvious translucent dots when held up to the light, giving them a ‘perforated’ appearance, hence the plant's Latin name. When flowers or seed pods are crushed, a reddish/purple liquid is produced.
