Description

Hibbertia desmophylla is a sprawling or erect shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt, its foliage covered with tangled, curled hairs. The leaves are densely clustered on short side-shoots, linear, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and more or less sessile. The flowers are usually arranged singly, sometimes in pairs or groups of three, on the ends of short side-shoots and are Шаблон:Cvt in diameter. There are up to three inconspicuous, egg-shaped bracts Шаблон:Cvt long. The five sepals are joined at the base, the sepal lobes elliptic to egg-shaped and tinged with pink, the outer sepal lobes Шаблон:Cvt long and the inner lobes Шаблон:Cvt long. The five petals are yellow, egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, Шаблон:Cvt long and there are usually eleven to thirteen stamens in three groups around the three glabrous carpels each with a single ovule. Flowering has been recorded from September to February.[1][2]

Taxonomy

This species was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham who gave it the name Candollea desmophylla in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected by Augustus Oldfield near the Murchison River.[3][4] In 1880, Ferdinand von Mueller changed the name to Hibbertia desmophylla in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae.[5][6] The specific epithet (desmophylla) means "halter-leaved", referring to the arrangement of the leaves around the flowers.[7]

Distribution and habitat

Hibbertia desmophylla grows in sandy soil in heath, shrubland and woodland from near the Murchison River to the Moore River National Park in the Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic region in the south-west of Western Australia.[1][2]

Conservation status

Hibbertia desmophylla is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.[2]
