Description
Scaevola glabrata is a spreading understorey shrub up to 70 cm (28 in) tall with upright needle-shaped stems that are glabrous or with occasional scattered hairs. The leaves are sessile or with a very short petiole, occasionally almost stem-clasping, egg-shaped, toothed, 21–68 mm (0.83–2.68 in) long and 6–26 mm (0.24–1.02 in) wide. The flowers are borne on spikes up to 12 cm (4.7 in) long, bracts elliptic-oval shaped and up to 15 mm (0.59 in) long. The blue corolla is 14–24 mm (0.55–0.94 in) long, hairy on the outside, bearded inside and the wings up to 10 mm (0.39 in) wide. Flowering occurs February to September and the fruit is cylinder-shaped, 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) long, wrinkled and covered in soft hairs.
