Hibbertia fasciculata, is a small shrub that is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It grows to 40 cm tall and has clusters of narrow leaves that are 4 to 6 mm long and about 0.5 mm wide. Yellow flowers appear from winter to early summer.
The species was first formally described in 1817 by botanist Robert Brown in Augustin Pyramus de Candolle's Regni Vegetabilis Systema Naturale.
The species occurs in heath and dry forest in Queensland and New South Wales. The subspecies H. fasciculata var. prostrata (Hook.) Hook.f. - Bundled Guinea-flower, which occurs in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, is synonymous with Hibbertia prostrata.
