Hibbertia aspera, commonly known as Rough Guinea Flower, is a perennial shrub native to the understory of open eucalypt forests, dry sclerophyll woodlands, and heathlands in eastern Australia. It typically grows up to 24 inches high with a similar spread and has a dense, bushy habit. The leaves are oblong to lance-shaped, with a distinctive rough texture that gives the species its common name. From September to December, it produces bright yellow flowers, each with five petals and a varying number of stamens, usually four to six, which are quite showy and attract pollinators.

The Rough Guinea Flower is appreciated for its vibrant flowers and textural foliage, making it a suitable choice for rockeries, native plant gardens, and as a low-maintenance ground cover. It thrives in well-drained sandy or gravelly soils and requires little water once established, making it drought-tolerant. Full sun to part shade is optimal for its growth. While it can be propagated by seed, leaf cuttings are often used for faster establishment. This plant is not known for significant pest or disease problems, but it can be sensitive to root disturbance.CC BY-SA 4.0
