Hypericum lloydii, known as Lloyd's St. John's-wort[2] or sandhill St. John's wort,[citation needed] is a species of flowering plant in the St. John's wort family (Hypericaceae). It is native to the Southeastern United States where it is found primarily in the lower Piedmont and inner Coastal Plain.[2][3] Its natural habitat is in dry open areas such as sandhills or granite flatrocks.[2]

Hypericum lloydii is a low straggling mat-forming shrub. Its leaves are narrowly linear, reaching up to 25 mm (1 in) long. It produces relatively small yellow flowers, 12–14 mm (0.5–0.6 in) across, in the summer.[1]
