Description

Hibbertia lepidota is an erect or trailing shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt and has densely scaly branches. The leaves are mostly linear to elliptic, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, more or less sessile and covered with scales, especially on the lower surface. The flowers are arranged singly, sometimes in groups of up to five near the ends of short side shoots on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, with linear to lance-shaped bracts Шаблон:Cvt long. The five sepals are joined at the base, the two outer sepal lobes Шаблон:Cvt long and the inner lobes slightly longer. The five petals are egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, yellow, Шаблон:Cvt long and there are 15 to 24 stamens arranged in groups around the two carpels, sometimes with up to six staminodes, each carpel with two ovules.[1][2][3]

Hibbertia lepidota was first formally described in 1817 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in his Regni Vegetabilis Systema Naturale from an unpublished description by Robert Brown.[4][5] The specific epithet (lepidota) means "covered with scales".[6]

Distribution and habitat

This hibbertia grows in woodland in sandy or gravelly soil in the Central Kimberley, Northern Kimberley and Victoria Bonaparte biogeographic regions of Western Australia, in Top End region of the Northern Territory and in northern Queensland.[1][2][3]
