Answer
Dear OutdoorLife, the plant you have photographed appears to be a species of Hypericum (St. John's-wort). These species have simple, opposite, entire, and sessile leaves with translucent dots. I can't tell you what species it is from the photograph (there are 17 species in New England) with flowers or fruits. It may be Hypericum perforatum (common St. John's-wort). Best wishes.
