Hibbertia inclusa

Hibbertia inclusa is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 20–90 cm (7.9–35.4 in).[2] It was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected from the Swan River Colony by James Drummond.[3][4] The specific epithet (inclusa) means "enclosed", referring to the flowers being enclosed in floral bracts.[5]

Hibbertia inclusa grows in claypans, floodplains, ridges and dunes in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia. It is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[2]
