Hibbertia rostellata is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low, straggling or erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 15–50 cm (5.9–19.7 in) and flowers between August and November producing yellow flowers.[2] It was first formally described in 1849 by Nikolai Turczaninow in the Bulletin de la Société Impériale des Naturalistes de Moscou.[3][4] The specific epithet (rostellata) means "possessing a small beak or snout", referring to the tip of leaves.[5]

This species grows on flats and slopes in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains and Mallee biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.[2]
