>Hi good people. This is my first posting so bear with me.

For 25 years my wife & I have been revegetating 17.5 ha of land on the south eastern slopes of the Mt Lofty Ranges in SA. We're at the stage of restoring the understorey & have discovered a number of plants & animals which we are keen to have identified lest we kill something that deserves to survive. From time to time (quite frequently at the moment) I'd like to post photos of plants & animals in the hope that forum members might be able to identify them. So here is the first with thanks in anticipation:

Hello Woko,
your plant is a goodenia and probably g ovata. A useful and quick-growing indigenee and one that is easy to grow from cuttings. Can become straggly and in a garden is usually pruned to a compact shape.
