Goodenia delicata

Goodenia delicata is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a low-lying to ascending herb with linear to narrow elliptic leaves mostly at the base of the plant, and racemes of yellow flowers.

Description
Goodenia delicata is a low-lying to ascending, short-lived herb with more or less hairy stems to 50 cm long that become glabrous as they age. The leaves are mostly at the base of the plant, linear to narrow elliptic, 20–60 mm long and 2–13 mm wide, sometimes with teeth on the edges. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to 400 mm long on a peduncle 5–20 mm long with linear bracteoles 1–2 mm long at the base, each flower on a pedicel 5–10 mm long. The sepals are narrow egg-shaped, 2–2.5 mm long, the corolla yellow, 10–13 mm long. The lower lobes of the corolla are 4–4.5 mm long with wings about 1 mm wide. Flowering occurs from October to June and the fruit is a more or less spherical capsule about 8 mm in diameter.

Taxonomy and naming
Goodenia delicata was first formally described in 1990 by Roger Charles Carolin in the journal Telopea from material collected in 1959 by Leslie Pedley near Westmar in Queensland.

Distribution and habitat
This goodenia grows in forest and woodland on the tablelands of south-eastern Queensland and northern New South Wales.
