About Goodenia geniculata R.Br.
Goodenia geniculata R.Br. is a low-lying to ascending hairy herb, with stems reaching up to 25 centimeters long, and it often forms stolons. Its basal leaves are linear to lance-shaped, with the narrower end oriented toward the base, measuring 30 to 100 millimeters long and 3 to 10 millimeters wide, and they frequently have toothed margins. Its flowers are arranged in racemes up to 50 millimeters long, borne on a 15 to 50 millimeter long peduncle with leaf-like bracts at the base, or they occur singly in leaf axils. Each individual flower sits on a 20 to 50 millimeter long pedicel. The sepals are oblong and 4 to 5 millimeters long. The corolla is yellow, measures roughly 14 to 16 millimeters long, and bears hairs on its outer surface. The lower lobes of the corolla are 7 to 8 millimeters long, with wings approximately 3 millimeters wide. Flowering takes place from September through January, and the fruit produced is an oval capsule about 10 millimeters long and 7 millimeters wide. This goodenia grows in woodland, forest, grassland, and scrub habitats. Its range extends from the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia to Victoria, where it is often common, and it also occurs in a small number of locations in Tasmania, where it is rare.
