A genus of small flowering plants native to Australia, typically low-growing herbaceous plants with delicate flowers.
Named in honor of botanist Peter Good, using the Linnaean suffix '-ia' to form a genus name, as was standard practice for naming plants after people in scientific botanical nomenclature.
Botanists had a quirky tradition of naming plants after important people—sometimes famous scientists, sometimes local plant hunters—making the plant kingdom a living dictionary of botanical history.
