Is this a Hypericum and if so which one?

It is actually in a wild area so it could have been dropped by a bird as a seed?

 

Yes it is Hypericum Moyra, but I haven't a clue which one, sorry!

 

If it is the variety "perforatum" you will see some opaque dots when you hold the leaves in the light.

 

Sorry Java&Me. but this is definitely not Hypericum perforatum. Common St John's wort.
The leaves of which are very different.

Quote wiki....
"St John's wort is a perennial plant with extensive, creeping rhizomes. Its stems are erect, branched in the upper section, and can grow to 1 m high. It has opposing, stalkless, narrow, oblong leaves that are 12 mm long or slightly larger."

Thank you Silver surfer very informative.

 

I really hate saying something is incorrect... unless I can suggest a better alternative.
Possibly Hypericum androsaemum. Common name Tutsan.... would be a better fit to your pics moyra. Leaves much broader

Thanks Silver Surfer I think you are right. I have informed my friend who was going to dig some of it up and put it in their garden. I think they will think twice about it now.
