Hibbertia exasperata is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect or straggling shrub that typically grows to a height of 10–60 cm (3.9–23.6 in) with sharply-pointed leaves. It has yellow flowers from June to October and grows on low ridges and sandplains.[2] It was first formally described in 1845 by Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel in Johann Georg Christian Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae and was given the name Candollea exasperata.[3][4] In 1900, John Isaac Briquet changed the name to Hibbertia exasperata.[5] The specific epithet (exasperata) means "rough, with short, hard points", referring to the leaves.[6]
Hibbertia exasperata is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.[2]
