Goodenia stobbsiana is a much-branched perennial subshrub that typically grows to a height of up to 80 cm (31 in) with sticky foliage. The leaves at the base of the plant and on the stems are egg-shaped to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 40–70 mm (1.6–2.8 in) long and 20–30 mm (0.79–1.18 in) wide, sometimes with teeth on the edges. The flowers are arranged in loose thyrses up to 400 mm (16 in) long on a peduncle up to 50 mm (2.0 in) long with leaf-like bracts and linear bracteoles up to 10 mm (0.39 in) long, each flower on a pedicel up to 4 mm (0.16 in) long. The corolla is blue with lobes up to 14 mm (0.55 in) long. Flowering mainly occurs from March to October.
