Hypericum fasciculatum, known as peelbark St. Johnswort or sandweed, is a species of flowering plant in the St. Johnswort family, Hypericaceae, native to the southeastern United States.[1][2][3] It is found from eastern North Carolina, south to southern Florida, west to eastern Louisiana.[4] Kew's Plants of the World Online database also notes that it occurs in Cuba,[1] though Cuba is not listed in several other sources.[4][3][5] It was first described in 1797 by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck.[6]

Peelbark St. Johnswort grows in wetlands including wet pine savannas, marshes, cypress ponds, and roadside ditches. It flowers from spring to fall.[4][3]
