About

Hibbertia hexandra, commonly known as tree guinea flower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae, and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a tall shrub or small tree with mostly lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base and yellow flowers arranged singly in leaf axils, with six stamens arranged around two hairy carpels.

Where it grows

This hibbertia grows in rainforest, open forest and heath, mostly in the ranges near the Queensland-New South Wales border. Collections near Wauchope may be of a new species.
