About

Goodia medicaginea, commonly known as western golden tip, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to southern continental Australia. It is a shrub with trifoliate leaves, the leaflets narrowly egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, and mostly yellow, pea-like flowers with red to purplish-black or brown markings.

Where it grows

Western golden tip occurs in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. In Western Australia it grows in granitic soils on granite rocks in the south-west, in Victoria at scattered locations in the southern half of the state, and in New South Wales in mallee communities south from Nymagee.
