Goodenia campestris is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to northern Australia. It is a low-lying herb with egg-shaped to lance-shaped stem leaves and racemes of yellowish flowers with purple veins.
Goodenia campestris is a low-lying to ascending herb with more or less glabrous stems up to 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in) long. The leaves are mostly stem leaves that are egg-shaped to lance-shaped, 10–30 mm (0.39–1.18 in) long and 4–10 mm (0.16–0.39 in) wide, toothed and sessile. The flowers are arranged in racemes on the ends of the stems, up to 300 mm (12 in) long on a peduncle 40–70 mm (1.6–2.8 in) long, each flower on a pedicel 15–70 mm (0.59–2.76 in) long with leaf-like bracts at the base. The sepals are lance-shaped to narrow oblong, 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long, the petals yellowish with purple veins, 7–8 mm (0.28–0.31 in) long. The lower lobes of the corolla are about 2 mm (0.079 in) long with wings about 0.5–1 mm (0.020–0.039 in) wide. Flowering has been recorded in May and the fruit is a more or less spherical capsule about 5 mm (0.20 in) long . [2] [3]
Goodenia campestris was first formally described in 1990 by Roger Charles Carolin in the journal Telopea from material he collected near Timber Creek in 1968. [3] [4] The specific epithet (campestris) means "pertaining to a field", referring to the grassy plains where this species grows. [3] [5]
This goodenia grows in grassland on black soil plains in the Victoria Bonaparte region of the Northern Territory and Western Australia. [2] [6] [7]
Goodenia campestris is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife, [7] and as "data deficient" under the Northern Territory Government Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1976. [6]
