Description

Goodenia krauseana is a prostrate to ascending herb densely covered with silvery bristles, and has stems up to 20 cm (7.9 in) long. It has lance-shaped leaves at the base, 30–70 mm (1.2–2.8 in) long and 3–10 mm (0.12–0.39 in) wide, sometimes with a few teeth near the tip. The flowers are arranged in small groups up to 100 mm (3.9 in) long, with leaf-like bracts, each flower on a pedicel 8–60 mm (0.31–2.36 in) long. The sepals are linear to elliptic, 2–2.5 mm (0.079–0.098 in) long, the petals yellow with a brownish base, 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 2 mm (0.079 in) wide. Flowering mainly occurs from October to December and the fruit is a more or less spherical capsule 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) in diameter. [2] [3]

Taxonomy and naming

This goodenia was first formally described in 1912 by Kurt Krause who gave it the name Goodenia nana, [4] [5] but that name was illegitimate because it had already been used (by Willem Hendrik de Vriese for a plant now known as a synonym of Goodenia humilis R.Br. ). [6] In 1980, Roger Charles Carolin changed the name to Goodenia krauseana in the journal Telopea . [7] [8] The specific epithet (krauseana) honours Krause who revised the family Goodeniaceae in Das Pflanzenreich . [7]

Distribution and habitat

This goodenia grows on rocky hills in the Eastern Goldfields and Great Victoria Desert regions of Western Australia. [2] [3]

Conservation status

Goodenia krauseana is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife. [3]
