Goodenia bellidifolia
Goodenia bellidifolia, commonly known as daisy goodenia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect, perennial herb with egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, spikes or thyrses of lemon-yellow to orange flowers, and oval to more or less spherical fruit. Description. "Goodenia bellidifolia" is an erect, perennial herb that typically grows to a height of and has glabrous to cottony-hairy stems. The leaves are egg-shaped to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, sometimes  with irregular teeth on the edges, long and wide. The flowers are arranged in spikes or thyrses up to long, sometimes on a pedicel up to long, with linear bracteoles about long at the base. The sepals are linear, long and the corolla is lemon-yellow to orange or yellow with cottony hairs on the back, up to long, the lower lobes of the corolla long with wings wide. Flowering occurs from August to March and the fruit is an oval to more or less spherical capsule about long. Taxonomy and naming. "Goodenia bellidifolia" was first formally described in 1794  by James Edward Smith in "Transactions of the Linnean Society of London". In 1981 Surrey Wilfrid Laurance Jacobs and J. Pickard described two subspecies, "Goodenia belliodifolia" subsp. "A" and the autonym "Goodenia bellidifolia" "bellidifolia" in "Plants of New South Wales". In 1990, subspecies "A" was formalised as "Goodenia bellidifolia" subsp. "argentea" by Roger Charles Carolin in the journal "Telopea" and both names are accepted at the Australian Plant Census: Distribution and habitat. Daisy goodenia grows in heath and forest from the Moreton and Wide Bay districts of Queensland, through eastern New South Wales and as far west as Dubbo to  the Genoa area in the far north-east of Victoria. Subspecies "argentea" occurs in the northern part of the species' distribution, north from near Wingham and subspecies "bellidifolia" south from Glen Innes.
