Although basal shot of leaves and under side of flower would have helped in clear distinction but to me also the plant appears to be oblongifolium, primarily on the basis of distribution, H. cordifolium being restricted to Central Himalayas. 

H. cordifolium                                                                H. oblongifolium Choisy (syn: H. cernuum Roxb)

Leaves 3-9 cm longcordate at base, midrib                       Leaves cuneate or rounded at base    

  darkly marked below

Sepals lanceolate, 6-12 mm long                                     Sepals ovate, 5-8 mm long

Styles 1.5 times as long as ovary                                    Styles twice as long as ovary

Ditribution Central Himalayas                                          Distribution Western Himalayas

Both Hypericum elodeoides  and Hypericum androsaemum are out of race because they have only 3 styles and much larger sepals.
