Hibbertia vestita, commonly known as hairy guinea-flower,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia.
It is a small shrub with foliage covered with simple hairs, usually linear leaves, and yellow flowers with 22 to 43 stamens with many staminodes arranged around three hairy carpels.
Hibbertia vestita is a prostrate shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 30 cm (12 in) and has foliage covered with simple hairs, the leaves sometimes becoming glabrous as they age.
[6] Bentham also described variety thymifolia in the same edition of Flora Australiensis, and its name and that of the autonym are accepted by the Australian Plant Census: Hairy guinea-flower grows in heath in near-coastal area and in forest in areas further inland in south-east Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales.
Variety thymifolia is restricted to exposed headlands in the same area.
