About Hibbertia cunninghamii Aiton ex Hook.
Hibbertia cunninghamii is a species of flowering plant in the Dilleniaceae family, and it is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with a sprawling, straggling or ascending growth habit, and typically reaches a height between 0.2 and 0.7 metres (7.9 inches to 2 feet 3.6 inches). It produces yellow flowers when it blooms between August and December each year. This species was first formally described in 1832 by William Jackson Hooker, based on an unpublished description written by William Aiton. Hooker's formal description was published in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, using specimens that were introduced by Mr. Allan Cunningham from King George's Sound. The specific epithet cunninghamii was chosen to honour Allan Cunningham. Hibbertia cunninghamii grows on floodplains, in swampy areas, and in locations within and around granite outcrops. Its native range falls within the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia. This species was revised in 2024.
