I have been researching some things and came across a treatment that called for a tincture of St. Joans wort. I was wondering if there is such a thing of if maybe it was a typo and should have been St Johns wort. Would anyone know about this?

I think it is a typo as well.

I take it back- It is the same plant, but some people do dub it "St. Joans Wort" See below from

http://www.bodyandfitness.com/Information/Herbal/Research/st.john.htm

What St. John's Wort Is and What It Can Do

You've probably heard something about St. John's wort­­or St. Joan's wort, as my herbalist friend Susun Weed, author of Breast Cancer? Breast Health! The Wise Woman Way, dubs it. Maybe you know of someone who claims this herb--in capsule form, tincture, or tea--has helped her ward off SAD or full-blown depression.

St. John's St. Joan's is one in the same as far as I know. Susun Weed calls it St. Joan's. She has a great forum on her website that is filled with scads of information on about any herbal question you may have. I will be interviewing her for an upcoming issue of The Essential Herbal magazine in early 2008.
