Goodenia konigsbergeri is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to Southeast Asia. It is a creeping stoloniferous herb with egg-shaped to spatula-shaped leaves and solitary pale yellow and white flowers.
Goodenia konigsbergeri is a creeping herb with stems up to 50 cm (20 in) long, forming stolons 15–20 mm (0.59–0.79 in) apart along the stems. The leaves are arranged in a rosette at the base of the plant and along the stems and are egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, to spatula-shaped, 20–40 mm (0.79–1.57 in) long and 10–25 mm (0.39–0.98 in) wide, on a petiole 5–40 mm (0.20–1.57 in) long. The leaves are slightly fleshy, pale green and have a few scattered teeth on the edges. The flowers are 7–10 mm (0.28–0.39 in) long and arranged singly in leaf axils on a pedicel 5–15 mm (0.20–0.59 in) long. The sepals are lance-shaped, 2–3.5 mm (0.079–0.138 in) long, the corolla pale yellow and white, 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in) long. Flowering occurs from December to August and the fruit is a slightly flattened spherical capsule about 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) in diameter. [2]
This goodenia was first formally described in 1913 by Cornelis Andries Backer who gave it the name Selliera konigsbergeri in the Bulletin du Jardin botanique de Buitenzorg. [3] [4] In 1916, Isaäc Boldingh changed the name to Goodenia konigsbergeri in Zakflora voor der Landouwstreken op Java. [1]
Goodenia konigsbergeri grows as a weed of dry rice-field at altitudes from sea level to an altitude of 400 m (1,300 ft) in Cambodia, Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Thailand and Vietnam. [1]
