Scaevola globosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae. It is a small, spreading shrub with fan-shaped yellow flowers and elliptic to egg-shaped leaves.
Scaevola globosa is a small shrub to high and wide, sticky stems with simple and glandular hairs. The leaves are sessile, occasionally almost stem-clasping, egg-shaped, toothed, long and wide. The flowers are borne in spikes up to long inside a dense, globose mass of soft hairs and the wings up to wide. Flowering occurs from February to September and the fruit cylinder shaped, long, wrinkled and covered with soft hairs.[1]
This scaevola was first formally described by Roger Charles Carolin in 1974 as Nigromnia globosa.[2] In 1990 Carolin changed the name to Scaevola globosa.[3] [4] The specific epithet (globosa) refers to the inflorescence.[5]
Scaevola globosa grows in sandy soils near Carnamah, Yuna and Mingenew.[1]
