About Hibbertia furfuracea (DC.) Benth.
Hibbertia furfuracea (DC.) Benth. is an erect shrub that typically grows between 1 and 2.5 meters (3 feet 3 inches to 8 feet 2 inches) in height, and has hairy young branches. Its leaves are narrow egg-shaped, with the narrower end oriented toward the base. The leaves measure 25 to 40 millimeters (0.98 to 1.57 inches) in length, up to 4 to 8 millimeters (0.16 to 0.31 inches) in width, and have downward-turned edges. The flowers grow singly in upper leaf axils, on a pedicel 8 to 20 millimeters (0.31 to 0.79 inches) long. Each flower is accompanied by linear to narrow egg-shaped bracts 5 to 9 millimeters (0.20 to 0.35 inches) long. The sepals are egg-shaped, 6.5 to 9 millimeters (0.26 to 0.35 inches) long. The petals are yellow, 10 to 12 millimeters (0.39 to 0.47 inches) long, and have a notch at the top. There are 10 to 12 stamens arranged on one side of two hairy, spherical carpels, and each carpel holds four ovules. Flowering of this species takes place from July to December. This species is widespread and common in near-coastal areas of south-western Western Australia, occurring between Cape Naturaliste and the Donnelly River, and between Broke in D'Entrecasteaux National Park and the Waychinicup River. It is found within the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions.
