Description

Hibbertia rhynchocalyx is a low shrub with spreading, hairy branches. The leaves are more or less oblong, 7–22 mm (0.28–0.87 in) long, 3–7 mm (0.12–0.28 in) wide on a petiole 0.5–2 mm (0.020–0.079 in) long, and covered with both long, simple hairs and short, star-like hairs. The flowers are mainly arranged singly on the ends of side shoots on a peduncle 3.2–6.4 mm (0.13–0.25 in) long with a linear bracts 4.4–5.1 mm (0.17–0.20 in) long at the base. The five sepal are joined at the base, the outer lobes 4.8–6.1 mm (0.19–0.24 in) long, the inner lobes slightly shorter. The petals are yellow, egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base or spatula-shaped, 4.5–6.6 mm (0.18–0.26 in) long with twelve stamens joined at the base, on one side of the two carpels, each carpel with two ovules. Flowering mostly occurs in October. [2] [3]
