Goodenia xanthotricha

Goodenia xanthotricha is a herb-like shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 50 cm (20 in), its foliage covered with glandular hairs and sticky. The leaves are linear to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 15–35 mm (0.59–1.38 in) long and 2–7 mm (0.079–0.276 in) wide with toothed edges. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to 60 mm (2.4 in) long on a peduncle 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long with leaf-like bracts and narrow egg-shaped bracteoles 4–10 mm (0.16–0.39 in) long. Each flower is on a pedicel about 1 mm (0.039 in) long with narrow oblong sepals 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long and a blue corolla about 14 mm (0.55 in) long. The lower lobes of the corolla are about 5 mm (0.20 in) long with wings about 2 mm (0.079 in) wide. Flowering mainly occurs from November to February and the fruit is a cylindrical to oval capsule 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long.

Yellow-haired goodenia grows on gravelly hills near Hill River in the Geraldton Sandplains and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.
