Goodenia neglecta is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to the Northern Territory of Australia. It is an ascending, weak-stemmed herb with toothed, egg-shaped leaves and racemes of yellow flowers.
Goodenia neglecta is an ascending, weak-stemmed herb that typically grows to a height of up to 30 cm (12 in). It has egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, leaves at the base of the plant, 15–60 mm (0.59–2.36 in) long and 3–20 mm (0.12–0.79 in) wide with teeth on the edges. Leaves on the stem are similar but decrease in size up the stem. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to 250 mm (9.8 in) long with leaf-like bracts, each flower on a pedicel 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long. The sepals are oblong to elliptic, about 3 mm (0.12 in) long, the corolla yellow, 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) long. The lower lobes of the corolla are 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long with wings about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide. Flowering mainly occurs from February to April and the fruit is a more or less spherical capsule about 3 mm (0.12 in) in diameter.[2][3]
