Hibbertia grossulariifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a prostrate shrub that spreads up to 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) in diameter and has yellow flowers that appear between August and December in the species' native range. [2]
The species was first formally described in 1807 by English botanist Richard Salisbury and was given the name Burtonia grossulariaefolia in The Paradisus Londinensis. [3] [4] Later in the same year, Salisbury changed the name to Hibbertia grossulariifolia. [5] The specific epithet (grossulariifolia) means " Grossularia-leaved". [6]
