Hibbertia empetrifolia, commonly known as Trailing Guinea-flower, is a perennial shrub native to heathlands and open forests of south-eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is a low-lying to spreading shrub with wiry stems and typically grows to a height of 60 cm (24 in). The leaves are oblong to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base. From spring to early summer, it produces pale to bright yellow flowers that are arranged on the ends of branchlets, adding a splash of color to the garden. The flowers are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

Trailing Guinea-flower is valued for its hardiness and adaptability, making it one of the best-suited species of Hibbertia for garden cultivation. It offers bright yellow flowers and is frost-resistant, tolerating some dryness. However, it thrives with adequate moisture. It is often used as a ground cover or in rockeries due to its spreading habit. In cultivation, it prefers full sun to part shade and well-drained soils with medium drainage. While it is generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
