The Hibbertia prostrata, often called the bundled Guinea-flower, is a small and interesting shrub. It is a native plant found only in south-eastern Australia. This plant is special because it grows naturally in this specific part of the world.

What is the Bundled Guinea-flower?

This plant is usually a small shrub. It can grow up to 50 centimeters (about 20 inches) tall. Its leaves are quite narrow and long. They are about 20 millimeters (less than an inch) long and only about 1 millimeter wide.

When Does it Flower?

The bundled Guinea-flower shows off its bright yellow flowers during spring and early summer. You can usually see these cheerful flowers from September to December. This happens in the areas where the plant naturally grows.

Where Does it Grow?

You can find the bundled Guinea-flower in special places called heathlands. These are open areas with low-growing shrubs. It lives in three different Australian states: South Australia, Victoria, and Tasmania.
