Hibbertia gracilipes is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, multi-stemmed shrub that typically grows to a height of 15–60 cm (5.9–23.6 in). It blooms between March and December producing yellow flowers.[2] First formally described in 1863 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis,[3][4] the specific epithet (gracilipes) means "thin foot", referring to the peduncles.[5]
This species is found in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions in the south-west of Western Australia where it grows on rocky hillsides and sandplains.[2]
