Hibbertia empetrifolia, commonly known as trailing guinea-flower,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia.

It is a low-lying to spreading shrub with wiry stems, oblong to lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and pale to bright yellow flowers arranged on the ends of branchlets, with five to nine stamens arranged on one side of the two carpels.

Hibbertia empetrifolia is a low-lying to spreading shrub with trailing to wiry stems and that typically grows to a height of 60 cm (24 in).

[3][4][5][6] This species was first formally described in 1817 by Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in his book, Regni Vegetabilis Systema Naturale and was given the name Pleurandra empetrifolia.

Toelken described three subspecies in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, and the names of two are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:[5] This guinea-flower occurs from south-east Queensland, through New South Wales and Victoria to Kangaroo Island in South Australia and in Tasmania.
