Hibbertia (George Hibbert, English patron of botany, died 1838). Dilleniaceae. Shrubs or subshrubs with yellow or white showy flowers, suitable for the greenhouse or for growing in the open in the warm parts; apparently none is in the American trade. Erect, procumbent or climbing, sometimes almost herbaceous, some species reaching 5 or 6 ft.: lvs. mostly small, entire or dentate, often heath-like, strongly 1-nerved with obscure or rarely prominent reticulations, some of them usually crowded beneath the blossoms: fls. solitary, terminal, sometimes approximating into clusters; sepals 5, sometimes united at base; petals 5, spreading and usually making an open fl.; stamens usually 12 or more, sometimes with staminodia: carpels usually 2-5, dehiscent at the top when ripe.—Species about 100, nearly all Australian, a few from Madagascar. Any of these species is likely to appear in lists, but only 2 or 3 are regularly known as horticultural subjects. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
