About Goodenia albiflora Schltdl.

Goodenia albiflora (common name white goodenia) is an erect, glaucous shrub that usually reaches a height of 70 cm (28 in), and has ridged stems. Its leaves are cauline, shaped from elliptic to egg-shaped, and measure 30โ€“70 mm (1.2โ€“2.8 in) long and 15โ€“40 mm (0.59โ€“1.57 in) wide, with wavy or serrated margins. Flowers are arranged in racemes up to 100 mm (3.9 in) long, growing on a 2โ€“4 mm (0.079โ€“0.157 in) long peduncle. Lance-shaped, leaf-like bracteoles around 3 mm (0.12 in) long are present at the base of the raceme, and each individual flower sits on a 1โ€“2 mm (0.039โ€“0.079 in) long pedicel. The sepals are lance-shaped, and 5โ€“6 mm (0.20โ€“0.24 in) long. The corolla is white, 15โ€“20 mm (0.59โ€“0.79 in) long, and has hairs inside. The lower lobes of the corolla are 10 mm (0.39 in) long, with wings 2.5โ€“3 mm (0.098โ€“0.118 in) wide. Flowering occurs mainly from October to January, and the fruit is an oval capsule around 10 mm (0.39 in) long. This species grows in stony soil on steep woodland slopes, and occurs from the Eyre Peninsula to the Flinders Ranges and Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia.
