Description
Goodenia caroliniana is a more or less glabrous perennial herb with egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves with toothed edges and the narrower end toward the base, 30–180 mm (1.2–7.1 in) long and 10–40 mm (0.39–1.57 in) wide. The flowers are borne on an ascending to erect flowering stem up to 500 mm (20 in) long with bracteoles up to 15 mm (0.59 in) long at the base. The lower sepal is heart-shaped, and the petals are 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) long and hairy, with wings 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) wide almost to the base of the lower sepal. Flowering mainly occurs from August to April and the fruit is a more or less spherical capsule containing seeds 1.0–2.5 mm (0.039–0.098 in) wide.
