About Goodenia montana (Hook.fil.) K.A.Sheph.
Goodenia montana (Hook.fil.) K.A.Sheph. is a small perennial herb that typically grows to 15 cm (5.9 in) high and forms a leaf rosette. Its leaves are lance-shaped to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, measuring 15–80 mm (0.59–3.15 in) long and 6–30 mm (0.24–1.18 in) wide, with either toothed or smooth margins. Flowers are borne on a low-lying or ascending flowering stem that reaches up to 100 mm (3.9 in) long, with bracteoles up to 5 mm (0.20 in) long. The lower sepal is egg-shaped to oblong, 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long. The yellow corolla is 7–10 mm (0.28–0.39 in) long, and both its inner and outer surfaces are covered with short, soft hairs. Flowering occurs from November to February. The fruit is a more or less spherical capsule about 2 mm (0.079 in) in diameter, which contains a single seed about 1.5 mm (0.059 in) in diameter. This species, also known as mountain velleia, grows at higher altitudes in woodland, subalpine swamps and grassland south of Boonoo Boonoo National Park in New South Wales, and is common in Tasmania and eastern Victoria.
