GipP, CVU, NIS, EGL, EGU, HSF. Also NSW, ACT, Tas. Occasional in dryish open-forest of foothills and ranges, on the southern and northern slopes of the Great Dividing Range, mostly east from about Heyfield and the Strathbogie Range respectively.
Very similar to some forms of Hibbertia riparia but distinguished by the commonly short simple hairs and sessile flowers mainly on short shoots. Hibbertia strigosa was previously included in this species, see note under H. strigosa.
