Hibbertia menai. Photo taken in Maandowie Bush Reserve, Loftus, NSW, Australia
In 2002/2003 this plant was discovered in Maandowie Bushland Reserve, Loftus, NSW, Australia during bush regeneration activities. Formal identification was not done due to the regeneration work load.
In 2004 it was found growing in the Menai area, about 5 kilometers from Maandowie. It was sent for formal identification and was confirmed to be a hitherto unknown species of Hibbertia. There are about 60 known specimens growing in the Menai area and 90 in Maandowie.
Due to its limited range and the small number of plants it has officially been classified as rare and endangered by the NSW government.

G’day Robert,
A very fine specimen of this rare and endangered Hibbertia, photographed and presented so well.
A lovely exposure in glorious light brings out the very best of this fine floral scene.
The focus is spot on and in combination with the depth of field ensures we get to see clear, sharp detail of the flower and foliage and a lovely bokeh.
A good angle of shot and composition presents this bright yellow Aussie gem very well indeed.
