§1

Description

Scaevola angulata is a straggling, spreading, intricately branched perennial shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) high and has striated stems. The leaves are more or less sessile, egg-shaped to narrowly oblong, mostly 15–30 mm (0.59–1.18 in) long and 5–10 mm (0.20–0.39 in) wide, sometimes with a short petiole. The flowers are borne on terminal spikes up to 150 mm (5.9 in) long with leafy bracts at the base. The sepals are triangular, about 1 mm (0.039 in) long and joined forming a bell-shaped tube. The petals are 11–20 mm (0.43–0.79 in) long, white to pale blue and bearded inside, sometimes with yellow in the throat. Flowering occurs in most months, and the fruit is elliptic, 4 mm (0.16 in) long.
