Scaevola restiacea is a shrub in the family Goodeniaceae. It is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. Plants grow to between 0.15 and 0.5 metres high and have blue-white flowers that can appear in March or June or from August to December in their native range. They are found growing on undulating plains on sandy soils[4]
The species was first formally described in 1868 by English botanist George Bentham.[1][2]
