Goodenia connata
Cup velleia (Goodenia connata) is a small annual herb from arid inland Australia, growing from a rosette of leaves with yellow to white flowers on slender stems. It is a species, not a genus, and is grown mainly as a wildflower for dry, sandy, sunny sites.
Goodenia connata, commonly known as cup velleia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae, and is found in all mainland states and territories of Australia. It is a glabrous annual herb with a rosette of leaves at the base, and ascending flowering stems with yellow, brownish-yellow or white flowers, often with mauve markings.
Goodenia connata occurs in all continental Australian mainland states and territories. In New South Wales it is widespread in arid and semi-arid regions in the west of that state. In Victoria it is found in the far north-west on sand dunes. In South Australia in grows on sandy soils usually in mulga or triodia grassland and has a widespread but disjunct distribution. It grows on rocky ranges or hills in the southern half of the Northern Territory and in the Central Ranges, Coolgardie, Great Sandy Desert, Great Victoria Desert, Little Sandy Desert, Murchison and Pilbara bioregions of inland Western Australia.
