About Hibbertia glebosa Toelken
Hibbertia glebosa is a spreading to low-lying shrub that typically reaches up to 50 cm (20 in) in height, and becomes densely-branched when mature. Its leaves are linear to lance-shaped, 4.5–7 mm (0.18–0.28 in) long and 0.6–1.4 mm (0.024–0.055 in) wide, growing on a petiole 0.2–0.5 mm (0.0079–0.0197 in) long. Flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils and on the ends of branchlets, borne on a peduncle 5–15 mm (0.20–0.59 in) long. This species has linear to elliptic bracts that measure 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long. The outer sepal lobes are 5.5–6.5 mm (0.22–0.26 in) long, and the inner lobes are slightly shorter but wider than the outer lobes. There are five yellow, egg-shaped petals with the narrower end towards the base, each 6–11 mm (0.24–0.43 in) long. Six or seven stamens grow in a cluster on one side of the two carpels. This Hibbertia grows in open woodland. The nominate subspecies (subspecies glebosa) occurs in the Mount Lofty Ranges, while subspecies oblonga grows on the western end of Kangaroo Island, usually near swamps or creeks.
