Jacob Sife meets with with Chantelle Doyle to find out more on this recently discovered plant, the Critically endangered Hibbertia spanantha,, or Julian's Hibbertia, first discovered by Andrew Robinson in South Turramurra in 2007. Described in 2014.
This is an amazing story that begins with the almost unbelievable spotting of this small and very inconspicuous new species by Andrew when he was working for the Ku-ring-gai council.
Chantelle is doing her PhD at the University of New South Wales.
The work on Julian's Hibbertia is funded by Saving Our Species - an NSW Government conservation program that addresses the growing number of plants and animals in NSW facing extinction.
