About Hibbertia huegelii (Endl.) F.Muell.

Hibbertia huegelii (Endl.) F.Muell. is an erect, spreading, or prostrate shrub that usually reaches 20 to 30 cm in height. Its branchlets are covered with white to pale grey hairs. The species has linear leaves that are 30–40 mm long and 1.0–1.5 mm wide, with edges rolled under that hide the lower leaf surface. Flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils on the ends of branchlets, and they are sessile. A narrow egg-shaped bract 7–10 mm long sits at the base of the sepals. The five egg-shaped sepals are joined at their base and measure 8–10 mm long. The five petals are yellow, egg-shaped with the narrower end toward the base, 8–11 mm long, and have a notch at the tip. This species has 15 to 25 stamens arranged in bundles of five, alternating with four or five hairless carpels, each containing a single ovule. Hibbertia huegelii grows in woodland, and is mostly found in the Darling Range within the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.
