Description
Goodenia cirrifica is an ascending, widely branched herb that typically grows to a height of 40 cm long and has sticky foliage and zig-zagged branches. The leaves at the base of the plant are short-lived, lance-shaped to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, up to 30 mm long and 8 mm wide, the stem leaves linear and 10–50 mm long. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to 300 mm long on a peduncle 5–20 mm long with leaf-like bracts at the base. The sepals are narrow elliptic to lance-shaped, 2–3.5 mm long, the petals yellow, 7–10 mm long. The lower lobes of the corolla are 2–3 mm long with wings about 1 mm wide. Flowering occurs from March to October and the fruit is an oval capsule about 5 mm long.

Taxonomy and naming
Goodenia cirrifica was first formally described in 1886 by Ferdinand von Mueller in The Australasian Journal of Pharmacy from specimens collected "on the Alligator-River" by Maurice William Holtze.

Distribution and habitat
