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 70 cm (28 in) high and 1 m (3 ft 3 in) wide, sticky stems with simple and glandular hairs. The leaves are sessile, occasionally almost stem-clasping, egg-shaped, toothed, 21–68 mm (0.83–2.68 in) long and 6–26 mm (0.24–1.02 in) wide. The flowers are borne in spikes up to 12 cm (4.7 in) long inside a dense, globose mass of soft hairs and the wings up to 10 mm (0.39 in) wide. Flowering occurs from February to September and the fruit cylinder shaped, 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) long, wrinkled and covered with soft hairs.[2]
