The Goodeniaceae are a family of mostly Australian herbs and shrubs in which the flowers have the five lobes of the corolla usually arranged in two lips, and the style terminated by a compressed cup-shaped or two-lipped indusium. The blue pincushion Brunonia australis has a superior ovary and exalbuminous seeds whereas in other genera of Goodeniaceae the ovary is usually inferior except for its convex summit (Black & Robertson 1965).
