About Hibbertia bracteata (DC.) Benth.
Hibbertia bracteata is an erect, openly branched shrub with hairless branches, usually growing no taller than 100 cm (39 in). Its leaves range from lance-shaped (with the narrower end at the base) to oblong, measuring 10–30 mm (0.39–1.18 in) long and 4–7 mm (0.16–0.28 in) wide, and end in a small sharp point. Flowers grow in leaf axils or at the tips of branchlets, are sessile, and each flower rests on a ring of brown bracts. The sepals are 12–15 mm (0.47–0.59 in) long and covered in dense silky hairs. Petals are yellow and about 10 mm (0.39 in) long. Around sixteen stamens are arranged on one side of the two silky-haired carpels. Flowering takes place from late winter through summer. Hibbertia bracteata is widely distributed in heath and forest habitats in the Sydney district and the Blue Mountains.
