Description

Goodenia lamprosperma is an annual or perennial herb that typically grows to a height of 50 cm (20 in). The leaves are linear to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 30–80 mm (1.2–3.1 in) long and 3–10 mm (0.12–0.39 in) wide, sometimes with teeth on the edges. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to 350 mm (14 in) long on peduncles up to 80 mm (3.1 in) long with linear bracteoles 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long, the individual flowers on pedicels 3–6 mm (0.12–0.24 in) long. The sepals are lance-shaped to narrow oblong, 0.5–2 mm (0.020–0.079 in) long, the corolla yellow, 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) long. The lower lobes of the corolla are 1.5–3 mm (0.059–0.118 in) long with wings 0.5–1.5 mm (0.020–0.059 in) wide. Flowering mainly occurs from April to August and the fruit is a cylindrical capsule 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long. [2] [3] [4]
