Description

Hibbertia montana is an erect, straggling or sprawling, densely hairy shrub that typically grows to a height of 10–70 cm (3.9–27.6 in) high. The leaves are narrow oblong, 15–23 mm (0.59–0.91 in) long and 4–7 mm (0.16–0.28 in) wide. The flowers are 20–35 mm (0.79–1.38 in) in diameter and are usually arranged on a peduncle, the five sepals densely silky-hairy. There are thirty to sixty stamens and a few staminodes arranged around the four or five velvety-hairy carpels. Flowering occurs from July to October. [2] [3]

Taxonomy

Hibbertia montana was first formally described in 1845 by Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel in 1845 in Johann Georg Christian Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae from specimens collected near York in 1839. [4] [5] The specific epithet (montana) means "pertaining to mountains". [6]

Distribution and habitat

This hibbertia grows near granite rocks and on hills on the Darling Range in the Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia. [2] [3]

Conservation status

Hibbertia montana is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife. [3]
