Description

Goodenia salmoniana is an erect to ascending herb up to 30 cm (12 in) high, its foliage with a few soft hairs when young. The leaves on the stems are linear, more or less cylindrical, 10–35 mm (0.39–1.38 in) long and 0.5–1 mm (0.020–0.039 in) wide. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to 100 mm (3.9 in) long with leaf-like bracts, each flower on a pedicel 1–3 mm (0.039–0.118 in) long. The sepals are lance-shaped, about 2 mm (0.079 in) long, the corolla dark yellow, 6–7 mm (0.24–0.28 in) long. The lower lobes of the corolla are about 3 mm (0.12 in) long with wings about 0.5 mm (0.020 in) wide. [2] [3]

Taxonomy and naming

This species was first formally described in 1892 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Velleia salmoniana in The Victorian Naturalist from material collected near the Gascoyne River by Lady Margaret Forrest. [4] [5] In 1990 Roger Charles Carolin changed the name to Goodenia salmoniana in the journal Telopea . [6] [7] The specific epithet honours George Salmon. [4]

Distribution

This goodenia is only known from the type specimen, collected at an unknown location near the Gascoyne River in Western Australia. [2] [3]

Conservation status

Goodenia salmoniana is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife, [3] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk. [8]
