Goodenia cirrifica is an ascending, widely branched herb that typically grows to a height of long and has sticky foliage and zig-zagged branches. The leaves at the base of the plant are short-lived, lance-shaped to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, up to long and wide, the stem leaves linear and long. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to long on a peduncle long with leaf-like bracts at the base. The sepals are narrow elliptic to lance-shaped, long, the petals yellow, long. The lower lobes of the corolla are long with wings about wide. Flowering occurs from March to October and the fruit is an oval capsule about long.[1]
Goodenia cirrifica was first formally described in 1886 by Ferdinand von Mueller in The Australasian Journal of Pharmacy from specimens collected "on the Alligator-River" by Maurice William Holtze.[2] [3]
This goodenia grows in forest and woodland in the northern part of the Northern Territory.[4]
