Hibbertia eatoniae

Hibbertia eatoniae is a species of shrub in the family Dilleniaceae family and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, wiry shrub that typically grows to a height of 15–60 cm (5.9–23.6 in). It flowers from May to October and produces yellow flowers. It is similar to Hibbertia ancistrophylla but has leaves with short, scale-covered petioles, flowers with peduncles and hairy carpels and to H. lepidocalyx but has smaller leaves.[2][3] It was first formally described in 1904 by Ludwig Diels in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie.[4] The specific epithet (eatoniae) honours Alice Eaton of Youndegin, who collected the type specimens.[5]
