Hibbertia fasciculata, is a small shrub that is endemic to south-eastern Australia.[1] It grows to 40 cm tall and has clusters of narrow leaves that are 4 to 6 mm long and about 0.5 mm wide. Yellow flowers appear from winter to early summer.[2]
The species was first formally described in 1817 by botanist Robert Brown in Augustin Pyramus de Candolle's Regni Vegetabilis Systema Naturale.[1]
The species occurs in heath and dry forest in Queensland and New South Wales.[2] The subspecies H. fasciculata var. prostrata (Hook.) Hook.f. - Bundled Guinea-flower, which occurs in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, is synonymous with Hibbertia prostrata.[3]
