Hibbertia andrewsiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with an erect or spreading habit and typically grows to a height of 15–60 cm (5.9–23.6 in). It blooms between September and January and produces yellow flowers.[2]
The species was first formally described in 1904 by the botanist Ludwig Diels in Engler's Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie from specimens collected near Esperance.[3][4]
The specific epithet (andrewsiana) honours Cecil Rollo Payton Andrews (1870 to 1951), a schoolteacher and later director of Education in Western Australia. He was also an avid plant collector and served as the President of the Western Australian Natural History Society.[5]
The species has a small and scattered distribution along the south coast of the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia between Ravensthorpe to just east of Esperance where it is found on rocky slopes and undulating plains growing in sandy soils.[2]
