Hibbertia quadricolor Domin var. quadricolor

Hibbertia quadricolor is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a sprawling to ascending shrub that typically grows to a height of 10–50 cm (3.9–19.7 in) and produces yellow flowers between July and October.[2]

This species was first formally described in 1923 by Karel Domin in the journal Vestnik Kralovske Ceske Spolecnosti Nauk, Trida Matematiko-Prirodevedecke from specimens collected by Arthur Dorrien-Smith.[3] The specific epithet (quadricolor) means "four-coloured", and refers to each of the leaves, bracts, sepals and young leaves being a different colour.[4]

Hibbertia quadricolor grows on ridges, hills and flats in the Jarrah Forest biogeographic region of south-western Western Australia.[2]
