Hibbertia nymphaea is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a prostrate or straggling shrub that typically grows to a height of 40 cm (16 in) and flowers between August and October producing yellow flowers.[2] It was first formally described in 1904 by Ludwig Diels in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie.[3] The specific epithet (nymphaea) is a reference to nymphs who live in fountains and rivers.[4]
Hibbertia nymphaea grows in seasonally wet places and near rivers in the Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.[2]
