Description
Hibbertia stelligera is a multi-stemmed shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt and has its foliage covered with rosette-like hairs. The leaves are linear, mostly Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are arranged singly at the end of branches or in leaf axils, each flower on a thread-like peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, with oblong bracts at the base. The five sepals are joined at the base, the two outer sepal lobes Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, and the inner lobes longer and broader. The five petals are egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, yellow, Шаблон:Cvt long and there are 20 to 32 stamens arranged in groups around the two densely scaly carpels, each carpel with two ovules.[1]

Toelken raised the form to species status as Hibbertia stelligera.[4] The specific epithet (stelligera) means "star-bearing".[5]
