Scaevola glutinosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae. It is a small, spreading shrub with fan-shaped blue flowers, toothed, oval-shaped leaves and grows in Queensland.
Scaevola glutinosa is a small, spreading sub-shrub to high, sticky stems, soft simple hairs, toothed oval-shaped leaves, sessile, sometimes almost stem-clasping, long and wide. The blue flowers are in spikes up to long, bracts elliptic to egg-shaped, corolla long, hairy on the outer surface, bearded on the inside and the wings up to wide. Flowering occurs from February to September and the fruit is cylinder-shaped, long, wrinkled and covered in soft hairs.[1]
Scaevola glutinosa was first formally described in 1990 by Roger Charles Carolin and the description was published in Telopea.[2] [3] The specific epithet (glutinosa) means "sticky".[4]
This scaevola grows mostly on limestone in Mt Isa at higher altitudes and the Great Dividing Range.[1]
