Flower detail

Hibbertia grossulariifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a prostrate shrub that spreads up to 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) in diameter and has yellow flowers that appear between August and December in the species' native range.[2]

The species was first formally described in 1807 by English botanist Richard Salisbury and was given the name Burtonia grossulariaefolia in The Paradisus Londinensis.[3][4] Later in the same year, Salisbury changed the name to Hibbertia grossulariifolia.[5] The specific epithet (grossulariifolia) means "Grossularia-leaved".[6]
