Description
Hibbertia melhanioides is a shrub that typically grows up to Шаблон:Cvt tall and Шаблон:Cvt wide with spreading, hairy branches. The leaves are oblong to elliptic or lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are usually arranged singly in leaf axils near the ends of the branches on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long. There are elliptic to spatula-shaped bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base of the flowers. The five sepals are joined at the base, the three outer lobes Шаблон:Cvt long and the inner lobes Шаблон:Cvt long. The five petals are egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, yellow, up to Шаблон:Cvt long usually with about 25 to 30 stamens and up to eight staminodes arranged around three carpels, each carpel with three or four ovules.[1][2]
Taxonomy
Hibbertia melhanioides was first formally described in 1864 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by John Dallachy near Rockingham Bay in 1864.[1][3] The specific epithet (melhanioides) means "Melhania-like".
In 1928, Karel Domin described two varieties of Hibbertia melhanioides in the journal Bibliotheca Botanica and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
- Hibbertia melhanioides var. baileyana Domin;[4]
- Hibbertia melhanioides F.Muell. var. melhanioides.[5]
Distribution and habitat
This hibbertia grows in forest on mountain slopes at altitudes up to Шаблон:Cvt, along the coast of Queensland from north of Ingham to south of Gordonvale.[1][2]
