Description

Goodenia stelligera is an erect, glabrous herb that typically grows to a height of 60 cm (24 in) and forms adventitious roots. The leaves form a rosette at the base of the plant and are linear to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, sometimes with small teeth on the edges, 50–250 mm (2.0–9.8 in) long, 1–12 mm (0.039–0.472 in) wide and sessile. The flowers are arranged in racemes or thyrses up to 600 mm (24 in) long with linear to lance-shaped bracts 10–25 mm (0.39–0.98 in) long, each flower sessile or on a pedicel up to 4 mm (0.16 in) long. The sepals are linear, 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long and the corolla is yellow, 13–15 mm (0.51–0.59 in) long with whitish, star-shaped hairs. The lower lobes of the corolla are 7–8 mm (0.28–0.31 in) long with wings 1.5–2.5 mm (0.059–0.098 in) wide. Flowering mainly occurs from August to February and the fruit is a oval capsule, 5–9 mm (0.20–0.35 in) long that opens to release elliptic brown seeds about 1.5 mm (0.059 in) long. [2] [3] [4]

Taxonomy

Goodenia stelligera was first formally described in 1810 by botanist Robert Brown in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae . [5] [6] The specific epithet (stelligera) means "star-bearing". [7]

Distribution and habitat

Spiked goodenia grows in swamps on sandstone in near-coastal areas from south-eastern Queensland to near Braidwood in New South Wales. [2] [3] [4]
