Hibbertia margaretae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Hibbertia margaretae faces severe threats from urban development and infrastructure expansion across its limited range in Western Australia. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation from residential and commercial development. Mining activities and road construction pose additional pressures on remaining populations, while altered fire regimes and invasive plant species further degrade suitable habitat.
Habitat
This endemic Western Australian shrub occurs in sandy soils within kwongan heathland and low woodland communities. It typically grows in areas with well-drained sandy substrates associated with lateritic breakaways and gentle slopes.
