Goodenia angustifolia is a prostrate or ascending herb with glabrous, glaucous foliage. The leaves are needle-shaped but channelled, long and about wide, those on the stem sometimes clustered. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to long on a peduncle long, each flower on a pedicel about long with leaf-like, linear to triangular bracteoles at the base. The sepals are lance-shaped, long and the corolla is bright yellow, long and hairy inside. The lower lobes of the corolla are about long with wings about wide. Flowering has been observed in August.[1] [2]
Goodenia angustifolia was first formally described in 1980 by Roger Charles Carolin in the journal Telopea from material he collected near Nockatunga in 1964.[3] [4] The specific epithet (angustifolia) means "narrow-leaved".[5]
This goodenia grows on stony downs near the type location in Queensland, but has also been recorded along roadsides and in other arid areas of the Northern Territory.
