Hibbertia pulchra is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a multi-stemmed shrub with clustered, linear to narrow egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and yellow flowers with eleven stamens arranged around three carpels.

Description

Hibbertia pulchra is a sprawling, multi-stemmed shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt. Its leaves are arranged in clusters, sometimes near the ends of the stems, and are linear to narrow egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide and glabrous. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils or on the ends of short side shoots, sessile and Шаблон:Cvt in diameter with egg-shaped bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The five sepals are broadly elliptic, Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the outer lobes Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, the inner lobes longer and broader. The five petals are yellow, egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base and Шаблон:Cvt long with a notch at the tip. There are eleven stamens joined in three groups of three with two free, arranged around the three carpels that each contain a single ovule. Flowering mostly occurs from July to November.

Taxonomy

Hibbertia pulchra was first formally described in 1921 by Carl Hansen Ostenfeld in the journal Biologiske meddelelser, Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskab from specimens collected near Palgarup in 1914. The specific epithet (pulchra) means "beautiful".

In 2004, Judith R. Wheeler described three varieties of H. pulchra in the journal Nuytsia and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:

• Hibbertia pulchra var. acutibractea J.R.Wheeler that has egg-shaped to elliptic bracts Шаблон:Cvt wide;
• Hibbertia pulchra var. crassinervia J.R.Wheeler has inconspicuous bracts Шаблон:Cvt long;
• Hibbertia pulchra Ostenf. var. pulchra has more or less circular bracts Шаблон:Cvt wide.

Distribution and habitat

This hibbertia grows in a variety of habitats including shrubland, woodland and forest between Collie, Capel, Lake Muir and Albany in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.

Conservation status

Hibbertia pulchra and each of its three varieties are classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
