Description

Goodenia stephensonii is an erect, more or less woody herb that typically grows to a height of up to 80 cm (31 in). The leaves on the stems are linear to oblong, 30–60 mm (1.2–2.4 in) long and about 3.5 mm (0.14 in) wide, sometimes with teeth on the edges. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to 200 mm (7.9 in) long on a peduncle 8–12 mm (0.31–0.47 in) long with leaf-like bracts and linear bracteoles 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long. The sepals are linear to lance-shaped, about 2 mm (0.079 in) long, the corolla yellow and pouched, 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) long. The lower lobes of the corolla are 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long with wings about 0.5 mm (0.020 in) wide. Flowering occurs from October to January. [2] [3]

Taxonomy and naming

Goodenia stephensonii was first formally described in 1887 by Ferdinand von Mueller in The Victorian Naturalist from specimens collected by "L. Stephenson". [4] [5]
