Hibbertia auriculiflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to northern parts of the Northern Territory. It is usually a short-lived perennial shrublet covered with hairs and scales and has mostly oblong to linear leaves. The flowers are usually arranged singly or in groups of two or three in leaf axils, with twenty-five to thirty-two stamens arranged in groups around the two carpels.

Description

Hibbertia auriculiflora is usually a short-lived perennial shrublet that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt, its foliage more or less densely covered with hairs and scales. The leaves are oblong to linear, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and sessile or on a petiole up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are arranged singly or in groups of two or three in leaf axils on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, with elliptic bracts Шаблон:Cvt long. The five sepals are joined at the base, the two outer sepal 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, Шаблон:Cvt long with two lobes. There are twenty-five to thirty-two stamens arranged in groups around the two densely scaly carpels, each carpel with two ovules. Flowering occurs from April to May.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Hibbertia auriculiflora was first formally described in 2010 by Hellmut R. Toelken in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens from specimens he collected above the falls on Waterfall Creek in 2004.[1][3] The specific epithet (auriculiflora) means "earlike-appendage flowered", referring to the spreading tips of the sepal lobes.[1]

In the same paper, Toelken described two subspecies, and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:

  • Hibbertia auriculiflora Toelken subsp. auriculiflora;[4]
  • Hibbertia auriculiflora subsp. minor Toelken [5] that differs from the autonym in having sepal lobes shorter than Шаблон:Cvt and fewer stamens.[1]

Distribution and habitat

This hibbertia grows in sandy soil on sandstone in woodland on the Arnhem Land escarpment in the northern parts of the Northern Territory.[1]

Conservation status

Goodenia auriculiflora subsp. auriculiflora is classified as of "near threatened" but subsp. minor is listed as of "least concern" under the Northern Territory Government Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1976.[2][6]
