Hibbertia pilosa, commonly known as hairy guinea flower,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is an erect or sprawling shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.3–1.5 m (1 ft 0 in–4 ft 11 in) and has leaves with long, soft hairs. The flowers are yellow with one or two densely hairy carpels from September to December.[2][3] The species was first formally described in 1845 by Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae.[4][5] The specific epithet (pilosa) means "pilose", referring to the leaves.[6]

Hairy guinea flower grows on rocky slope, grantie outcrops and hills in the Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.[2]
