Occurrence data from AVH |
Velleia lyrata is a small perennial herb in the Goodeniaceae family, endemic to Australia. It is found mainly near Sydney, but also near the NSW and Queensland border, and in Queensland.[3][4] A map of its occurrence records is given here. It grows in damp situations in heath on sandy soils.[3] The cordate base to the adaxial sepal is a feature distinguishing it from many other Velleias.[5] A full description of the plant is given in Flora of Australia online.
The species was first described as Velleia lyrata by the botanist Robert Brown in 1810 [1][2] and the name has never been revised.[2].
