Scaevola macrophylla, commonly known as large-flowered scaevola,[1] is an erect herb (woody at base) growing to 0.4 m high, with blue flowers, in the family Goodeniaceae, native to Western Australia.[4]
The species was first formally described in 1854 by Willem Hendrik de Vriese[5][6] and in 1868 George Bentham in the fourth volume of Flora Australiensis assigned it to the genus, Scaevola.[2][3]
It occurs in the Cape Riche area in south-western Western Australia.[7] The species is described as "extremely rare", being documented on only four occasions, a discovery after a controlled burn in 2021 was its first record since 1990.[8]
It has been declared to be a threatened species,[4] and critically endangered under the EPBC Act.[1]
