Goodenia micrantha is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to south-western Australia. It is a prostrate to ascending herb with linear leaves at the base of the plant and racemes of small, yellowish flowers with a brownish centre.

Description

Goodenia micrantha is a prostrate to ascending herb with four-sided stems up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The leaves are arranged at the base of the plant and are linear, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to Шаблон:Cvt long, with leaf-like bracts, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The sepals are oblong to lance-shaped, about Шаблон:Cvt long, the petals yellowish with a brownish centre and Шаблон:Cvt long. The lower lobes of the corolla are Шаблон:Cvt long with wings about Шаблон:Cvt wide. Flowering mainly occurs from September to December and the fruit is a more or less spherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt in diameter.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

This goodenia was described in 1874 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae as a variety of Goodenia filiformis, but was not given a varietal name.[3] In 1912, Kurt Krause gave the variety the name Goodenia filiformis var. minutiflora in Adolf Engler's Das Pflanzenreich, meaning that this was the first valid, formal description of the variety.[4][5] In 1921, Carl Christensen and Carl Hansen Ostenfeld raised von Mueller's variety to species status as Goodenia micrantha, but that name was not valid, because the original variety was not named.[6] The name Goodenia micrantha was first formally published in 1990 by Roger Charles Carolin in the journal Telopea, from an unpublished manuscript of the English botanist William Hensley.[7][8] The specific epithet (micrantha) means "small-flowered".[9]

Distribution and habitat

This goodenia grows in winter-wet depressions and on granite outcrops. It is widespread in scattered populations in the south-west of Western Australia.[1][2] A single small population has also been recorded from the western end of Kangaroo Island in South Australia.[10]

Conservation status

Goodenia micrantha is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.[2]
