Hibbertia ulicifolia 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 m (7.9 in–3 ft 3.4 in).[2]
It was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham who gave it the name Candollea uncinata in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected by James Drummond.[3][4] In 1882, Ferdinand von Mueller changed the name to Hibbertia uncinata in his Systematic Census of Australian Plants.[5] The specific epithet (uncinata) means "hooked", referring to the leaves.[6]
This hibbertia grows on slopes, hills and floodplains in the Avon Wheatbelt biogeographical region of south-western Western Australia.[2]
Conservation status
Hibbertia uncinata is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[2]
