Goodenia panduriformis is a glaucous herb with egg-shaped leaves, the narower end towards the base, up to 200 mm (7.9 in) long and 70 mm (2.8 in) wide with toothed edges. The flowers are borne on a flowering stem up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) tall with bracteoles joined to form a funnel-like disc up to 120 mm (4.7 in) wide, often split down one side. The sepals are more or less free from each other, the lower sepal broadly elliptic and 15–18 mm (0.59–0.71 in) long. The petals are 20–25 mm (0.79–0.98 in) long, covered with soft hairs on the outside and bearded inside and deep- or brownish-yellow, the wings up to 1 mm (0.039 in) wide.

This species was first formally described in 1868 by George Bentham in his Flora Australiensis , who gave it the name Velleia panduriformis from an unpublished description byAllan Cunningham. [5] [6] In 2020, Kelly Anne Shepherd transferred the species to Goodenia as G. panduriformis in the journal PhytoKeys . [1] [7] The specific epithet panduriformis means lute- or fiddle-shaped. [8]
