Hibbertia serrata, commonly known as serrate-leaved guinea-flower, is a shrub that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It grows to between 0.1 and 2 metres high and has yellow flowers which appear between August and December in the species' native range.[1]
The species was formally described in 1954 by A.T. Hotchkiss based on plant material collected in Pemberton.[2][3]
It grows as a shrub with many erect thick stems. All parts are covered in fine hair.[2]
Hibbertia serrata grows in grey or black sand over limestone, laterite or granite-based soils.[1]
