About Goodenia rotundifolia R.Br.
Goodenia rotundifolia R.Br. is a prostrate to erect perennial herb, usually growing no taller than 50 cm (20 in). Most of its leaves are located at the base of the plant, and are roughly round to egg-shaped with the narrow end toward the base. They measure 8–20 mm (0.31–0.79 in) in length and 5–20 mm (0.20–0.79 in) in width, with toothed, sometimes wavy edges. Its flowers are arranged in racemes up to 300 mm (12 in) long, growing on an 8–23 mm (0.31–0.91 in) long peduncle with leaf-like bracts. Each individual flower sits on a pedicel up to 2 mm (0.079 in) long, with linear bracteoles around 5 mm (0.20 in) long. The sepals are linear to lance-shaped, 5–7.5 mm (0.20–0.30 in) long, and the petals are yellow, 12–16 mm (0.47–0.63 in) long. The lower lobes of the corolla are 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long, with wings 0.8–1.5 mm (0.031–0.059 in) wide. Flowering occurs mainly from September to May, and the fruit is a roughly spherical capsule 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) in diameter. This goodenia grows in woodland and forest on coastal areas and tablelands, ranging from southern Queensland to the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.
