Hibbertia rufa (Dilleniaceae) 1:23

 


Hibbertia rufa (brown guineaflower) is a small, low-growing shrub with pubescent branches and sessile, bright yellow flowers. This very rare native species is found in the north-east of Tasmania. The distinctive feature is the leaves ending in a small tuft of hairs. It was thought extinct in Tasmania until rediscovery in late 2008.
