Goodenia ramelii

Goodenia ramelii is a perennial herb that typically grows to a height of up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in). The leaves are mostly arranged in a rosette at the base of the plant, elliptic to egg-shaped, 100–250 mm (3.9–9.8 in) long and 20–45 mm (0.79–1.77 in) wide, with toothed edges. The leaves on the stems are similar but smaller. The flowers are arranged in racemes or thyrses up to 400 mm (16 in) long with lance-shaped bracts 8–15 mm (0.31–0.59 in) long and lance-shaped bracteoles 2–7 mm (0.079–0.276 in) long, each flower on a pedicel 1–4 mm (0.039–0.157 in) long. The sepals are lance-shaped, 1.5–2 mm (0.059–0.079 in) long and the corolla is blue, 12–15 mm (0.47–0.59 in) long. The lower lobes of the corolla are 7–8 mm (0.28–0.31 in) long with wings 1.5–2.0 mm (0.059–0.079 in) wide. Flowering occurs from March to September and the fruit is an oval capsule, about 7 mm (0.28 in) long.

This goodenia grows in stony soils from the Gibson Desert in Western Australia to the Barkly Tableland in the Northern Territory and Queensland, and south to the far north-west of South Australia.
