Hibbertia acicularis
Hibbertia acicularis, prickly guinea-flower, is a small Australian shrub with yellow flowers, native to heath and forest in eastern Australia. It is seldom grown in gardens, and the key is a sunny, well-drained site in a mild climate.
Hibbertia acicularis, commonly known as prickly guinea-flower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect or prostrate shrub with linear to lance-shaped leaves and yellow flowers arranged singly in leaf axils with the six to eight stamens joined at the base, in a single cluster.
Hibbertia acicularis grows in heath, woodland and forest in south-eastern Queensland, the coast and tablelands of New South Wales, east of Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, and in Tasmania.
