"Goodenia ovata" (commonly called the Hop Goodenia) is a flowering plant endemic to Australia. It grows in all states except Western Australia and the Northern Territory, near the coast as well as in drier inland areas. The plant usually behaves like a fast-growing groundcover, and upright shrubby forms also exist. As a shrub it grows to about 2 m high.
