Hibbertia drummondii is a shrub in the family Dilleniaceae family and is endemic to Western Australia. It is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.3–1 m (1 ft 0 in – 3 ft 3 in). It flowers from September to October and produces yellow flowers.[2] The species was first described in 1849 by Nikolai Turczaninow in the Bulletin de la Société Impériale des Naturalistes de Moscou and given the name Ochrolasia drummondii.[3][4] In 1893, Ernest Friedrich Gilg changed the name to Hibbertia drummondii in Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien.[5] The specific epithet (drummondii) honours James Drummond.[6]
