Goodenia dimorpha is a flowering plant that is endemic to the Sydney region in eastern Australia. The habitat is in swampy ground on sandstone. Found from Gosford to Waterfall in coastal areas, also recorded in Blackheath in the Blue Mountains. Attractive yellow flowers may be seen between the months of October and March. Two varieties are recognized: dimorpha and angustifolia. The specific epithet dimorpha is derived from Latin. Referring to the two forms of leaves. One from the mountains, the other from the coast.[1][2][3]
