Hibbertia pedunculata, commonly known as Stalked Guinea-flower, is a small shrub that is endemic to south-eastern Australia.[2] It may be near-prostrate or grow up to 30 cm tall and has narrow leaves that are 3 to 6 mm long and about 0.5 mm wide.[3] Yellow flowers appear from spring until autumn.[2][3]
The species was first formally described in 1817 by botanist Robert Brown in Augustin Pyramus de Candolle's Regni Vegetabilis Systema Naturale.[1] It occurs in open forest in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.[3]
