Description

The leaves are elliptic to egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide and serrated, on a petiole up to Шаблон:Cvt long, but are not persistent. The flowers are arranged singly on the ends of the main branches or on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long. The five sepals are oblong to elliptic and about the same size and shape as each other.

Taxonomy
This species was first formally described in 1992 by Lyndley Craven and Clyde Robert Dunlop and given the name Pachynema diffusum in Australian Systematic Botany.[2] After genetic studies of plastid DNA, James W. Horn changed the name to Hibbertia haplostemona.[3] The name was chosen because Hibbertia diffusa had already been used for a different species.[4]
Distribution and habitat
This hibbertia grows on sandstone, often with Triodia species in the northern part of the Northern Territory.[1]
Conservation status
Hibbertia haplostemona is classified as of "least concern" under the Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1976 and is conserved in Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks.[1]
