Description

Hibbertia pilulis is a straggly shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt with hairy foliage. The leaves are elliptic, mostly Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the edges rolled under, on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are arranged on the ends of the branches, each flower on a thread-like peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, with linear bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The five sepals are joined at the base, the two outer sepal lobes Шаблон:Cvt wide and the inner lobes Шаблон:Cvt wide. The five petals are broadly egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, yellow, Шаблон:Cvt long and there are 34 to 46 stamens arranged in bundles around the two carpels, each carpel with two ovules. Flowering occurs from December to June.[1]
