Goodenia lineata is a flowering plant that is endemic to the Grampians in Victoria, Australia. It is a perennial herb that grows to 50 cm high with oblanceolate leaves that arise mostly from the base of the plant. Yellow flowers appear in racemes between November and February in the species native range. It has not been observed to produce fruits or seeds.[1]
