Description
Scaevola globulifera is a low-lying to ascending shrub, that typically grows to a height of up to 120 cm (47 in), and is usually glabrous, sometimes sticky when young. The leaves are sessile, sometimes toothed, linear to narrowly lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 15–120 mm (0.59–4.72 in) long and 1–25 mm (0.039–0.984 in) wide. The flowers are borne in spikes up to 200 mm (7.9 in) long, with linear bracts 6–45 mm (0.24–1.77 in) long and narrowly lance-shaped bracteoles 3–7 mm (0.12–0.28 in) long. The sepals are egg-shaped, 1 mm (0.039 in) long and joined at the base and the petals are blue to white, 8–25 mm (0.31–0.98 in) long, more or less glabrous outside and bearded inside with wings about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide. Flowering mainly occurs from September to November, and the fruit is elliptic, up to 5 mm (0.20 in) in diameter.
