Hibbertia fractiflexa is a small, multi-stemmed shrublet from northern Australia, a member of the guinea flower genus, with yellow flowers borne in the leaf axils. It is a native of rocky woodland and sandstone outcrops, so it suits dry, well-drained conditions.
Hibbertia fractiflexa is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the Northern Territory. It is a small, multi-stemmed shrub with hairy foliage, elliptic leaves, and yellow flowers arranged in leaf axils with sixteen to twenty-two stamens arranged in groups around the two carpels.
This hibbertia grows in the northern part of the Northern Territory. Subspecies brachyblastis usually grows in rocky places in woodland in Kakadu National Park, subsp. filicaulis among boulders in scrub, woodland and forest on the western escarpment of the Arnhem Land Plateau, subsp. fractiflexa on rocky slopes and sandstone outcrops in woodland on the lower slopes of the western escarpment of the Arnhem Land Plateau and subsp. serotina on steep, rocky slopes in woodland in Litchfield National Park.
