Hibbertia cuneiformis, commonly known as cut-leaf hibbertia, is species of erect or sprawling shrub that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It grows to between 1 and 2 m (3 ft 3 in and 6 ft 7 in) tall and has yellow flowers which appear from January to March or from June to November in the species' native range.[2]
The species was first formally described in 1806 by French naturalist Jacques Labillardière who gave it the name Candollea cuneiformis in his Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen.[3][4] In 1811, English botanist James Edward Smith changed the name to Hibbertia cuneiformis in Abraham Rees's Cyclopædia.[5][6] The specific epithet (cuneiformis) means "wedge-shaped".[7]
Hibbertia cuneiformis grows on sand dunes and in swampy places in near coastal-areas of the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia. It is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[2]
