The flowers are arranged in compact thyrses up to Шаблон:Cvt long on a peduncle up to Шаблон:Cvt long, with linear bracts up to Шаблон:Cvt long at the base, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The sepals are linear, about Шаблон:Cvt long and the corolla is white and Шаблон:Cvt long. The lobes of the corolla are about Шаблон:Cvt long with wings about Шаблон:Cvt wide.

Taxonomy and naming

Goodenia decursiva was first formally described in 1905 by William Vincent Fitzgerald in the Journal of the West Australian Natural History Society from material collected in "sandy ground on the side of granite hill, Esperance, October, 1903" by Cecil Andrews.[3][4] The specific epithet (decursiva) means "decurrent", referring to the leaves.[5]

Distribution and habitat

This goodenia grows in sandy soil on granite outcrops and hills, mostly near the sea, along the south coast of Western Australia between Esperance and Israelite Bay in the Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions.[1][2]
