About

Goodenia paniculata, commonly known as branched goodenia, is a species of plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a short-lived herb with egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves with toothed edges and racemes of yellow flowers.

Where it grows

Branched goodenia grows in freshwater wetland or swampy habitat on clay, silty or sandy soils, often on the coast, and it has been known to grow in soils with pH as low as 2.5. It is found from Queensland through eastern New South Wales to south-eastern Victoria to as far west as Rosedale. In New South Wales in mainly occurs in coastal areas but also as far west as the Blue Mountains and Nerriga. The plant community it grows in is heath or woodland, dominated by such trees as thin-leaved stringybark (Eucalyptus eugenioides), broad-leaved red ironbark (E. fibrosa), forest red gum (E. tereticornis), woollybutt (E. longifolia) and white feather honeymyrtle (Melaleuca decora), and shrubs such as prickly-leaved paperbark (M. nodosa), Deane's paperbark (M. deanei), and tantoon (Leptospermum polygalifolium).
