Goodenia heterophylla
Variable Leaved Goodenia is a small, partly woody native herb or subshrub from eastern Australia, growing up to about 40 cm with yellow flowers. It suits well-drained, open, sunny spots like the sandy, sandstone-derived soils of its native woodland.
Goodenia heterophylla is a species of plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect to trailing, more or less woody herb or shrub with linear to egg-shaped stem-leaves and racemes or thyrses of yellow flowers.
This goodenia grows in forest and woodland, often on sandstone. Subspecies eglandulosa occurs in coastal and tableland areas of New South Wales from near Wauchope to Jervis Bay in New South Wales. Subspecies heterophylla is mostly found between Gloucester and Lithgow in New South Wales but sometimes also in north eastern Victoria. Subspecies montana is found in forest between Lithgow and the Nerriga area and subsp. teucriifolia is restricted to the Glass House Mountains area in Queensland.
