Dear Tanay Hypericum hookerianum wight & Arnott, 1834 can't be synonym of H. choisianum, for the simple fact that when Robson validated H. choisianum in 1973 (Flora Pakistan), he gave differentiating features and latin diagnosis separating it from H. hookerianum. These two as distinct species are both described in Flora of China, authored by Robson himself, H. hookerianum occurs in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, NE India and more importantly South India, and H. choisianum occurring in Bengal, Sikkim, Nepal, Myanmar, Nepal and Pakistan. So on that count also Kodaikanal Plant should be. H. hookerianum.
