Hibbertia nutans, commonly known as nodding guinea flower,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.2–1.0 m (7.9 in–3 ft 3.4 in) and flowers between August and October producing yellow flowers.[2] It was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected in 1843 by James Drummond in the Swan River Colony.[3][4] The specific epithet (nutans) means "nodding".[5]
Hibbertia nutans grows on rocky granite slopes and on granite rocks in the Avon Wheatbelt and Mallee biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.[2][6]
