Hibbertia goyderi is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the Northern Territory. It is a small leafless shrub with angular stems and yellow flowers with about nine or ten stamens arranged around the two carpels.
Hibbertia goyderi is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 50 cm (20 in) with erect stems that are angular or triangular in cross-section. The leaves are reduced to bracts 1–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long and 0.3 mm (0.012 in) wide. The flowers are borne on a peduncle 10–35 mm (0.39–1.38 in) long with small bracts at the base. The five sepals are joined at the base, the outer sepals lance-shaped and 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) long, the inner sepals egg-shaped and slightly shorter. The five petals are yellow, spatula-shaped, 6–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in) long and 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) wide. There are about nine or ten stamens arranged around the two carpels. Flowering occurs from August to March.[2][3]
Hibbertia goyderi was first formally described in 1871 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by "Schultz" near Port Darwin.[4] The specific epithet (goyderi) honours George Goyder.[5]
This hibbertia grows in woodland near Darwin in the far north-east of the Northern Territory.[3]
