Description
Hibbertia glaberrima is a glabrous, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.5–2 m (1 ft 8 in – 6 ft 7 in). The leaves are linear-oblong to lance-shaped, mostly 30–100 mm (1.2–3.9 in) long and 2–12 mm (0.079–0.472 in) wide. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils on a peduncle 10–30 mm (0.39–1.18 in) long, with a linear, leaf-like bract at the base of the sepal tube. The sepals are egg-shaped, 15–18 mm (0.59–0.71 in) long and the petals are bright yellow. There are 30 to 150 stamens arranged around the three glabrous carpels, each carpel with six to nine ovules. Flowering occurs in most months with a peak from July to September.
