Hibbertia spicata is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the west of Western Australia.
It is a low, erect to spreading shrub with scattered linear leaves with the edges rolled under and yellow flowers with six or seven stamens on one side of two softly-hairy carpels, and a larger number of staminodes.
Hibbertia spicata is an erect to spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 70 cm (28 in), its older stems covered with papery bark.
[2][3] Hibbertia spicata was first formally described in 1860 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected at Port Gregory by Pemberton Walcott and Augustus Frederick Oldfield.
[6] In 1984, Judith Roderick Wheeler described two subspecies and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census: Subspecies leptotheca grows on near-coastal limestone between Lancelin and the Yalgorup National Park and subspecies spicata grows in a variety of soils in heathland on the Darling Range.
