The widely known common name is Fairy Fan-flower, which pertains to the small size of the S. aemula plants. Distribution map fpr Scaevola aemulaIt is distributed along the New South Wales and Victorian coastlines where it can be found in the form of a low growing perennial herb. The plant may be either decumbent or ascending in growth with a height up to 60 cm tall. Hairs are present on the on the stems, flowers and fruits of the plant. On the stems the hairs are course and yellow in colour. The floral hairs are present on the inside and outside. The outer hairs are course and dense and the inner hairs are simple and give a bearded look to the inside of the flower. The flowers have a beautiful fan shape with the typical colouration of purple, blue or mauve. This petal colour is combined with a white or more commonly a yellow centre to give a bright eye catching flower. The flowers grow at various points along the stems and they decrease in size from the top to the bottom of the plant. From spring through to the end of summer these flowers can be admired. This blooming time alters according to the length of summer and the temperatures of the season. Although this plant is plant is not currently widely cultivated, it's fast growth rate and prolific flowering should soon change this. S. aemula is extremely versatile and is recommended for growing in pots as well as garden beds. It also is good for attracting birds and insects. The more decumbent forms of S. aemula have great potential as ground covers. Seeds or cuttings can be used to propagate this plant. The seeds need to be sown fresh and the cutting need to be semi-ripe. The cuttings need to be placed in a sand-filled container and kept at warm temperatures. These plants are frost sensitive and do not do well in colder areas. S. aemula also requires well-drained sandy soil and a good sunny position.<br /> Family: Goodeniaceae &nbsp; Genus: Scaevola &nbsp; Species: aemula &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Purple<br />Stephen L (Clare) SAFri, 21 Nov 2014 04:03:00 GMTFan Flowerhttps://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/wildflowers/147+fan-flowerhttps://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/wildflowers/147+fan-flower<a href="https://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/wildflowers/147+fan-flower"><img src="https://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/images/GalleryTag_W147__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> Tough woody shrub to 3m.

The genus gives its name to the Goodeniaceae family which includes several other well known genera including Lechenaultia, Dampiera and Scaevola. With a few exceptions goodenias, generally, are not widely cultivated despite the fact that most are small shrubs or herbs with colourful flowers and well suited to smaller gardens. Goodenia ovata is a small, open shrub up to about 1 metre high (occasionally higher). The leaves are glossy green and oval shaped to about 100 mm long. The yellow flowers occur in spring in the leaf axils and are conspicuous against the dark green leaves. This species is not widely cultivated as it is perceived to have a "weedy" growth habit. It tends to grow quickly and can become open and untidy. However, it responds well to hard pruning and is a good plant to use as a quick-growing "filler". A recent introduction is a completely prostrate form. This has a lot to offer as a quick growing and robust groundcover, although it does not tolerate extended dry conditions well. All forms are hardy in most soils and in a sunny or semi-shaded position. Propagation of G.ovata is very easy from cuttings taken at most times of the year. Seed also germinates reliably but is not easily obtained.<br /> Family: Goodeniaceae &nbsp; Genus: Goodenia &nbsp; Species: ovata &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Yellow<br />Stephen L (Clare) SAFri, 21 Nov 2014 04:08:00 GMTNative Blue Cornflower or Blue pincushionhttps://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/wildflowers/60+native-blue-cornflower-or-blue-pincushionhttps://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/wildflowers/60+native-blue-cornflower-or-blue-pincushion<a href="https://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/wildflowers/60+native-blue-cornflower-or-blue-pincushion"><img src="https://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/images/GalleryTag_W60__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> As would be expected from its widespread distribution, Brunonia australis is rather variable in habit. It is a perennial herb, with a cluster of elliptical leaves at the base. The leaves are about 10 cm long. The flowers occur on 50 cm high stems arising from the basal leaves of the plant. While the individual flowers are small they occur in hemispherical clusters of 50 or more, each cluster being about 30 mm in diameter. The flower colour is mid to deep blue and flowers are usually seen in spring but may also occur sporadically, extending through to autumn<br /> Family: Goodeniaceae &nbsp; Genus: Brunonia &nbsp; Species: australis &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Blue<br />Keith GFri, 18 Jul 2014 09:57:00 GMTNative Cornflowerhttps://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/wildflowers/167+native-cornflowerhttps://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/wildflowers/167+native-cornflower<a href="https://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/wildflowers/167+native-cornflower"><img src="https://www.bushtrackerownersgroup.asn.au/images/GalleryTag_W167__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> Tufted perennial, herb or shrub, 0.05-0.4 m high.
