      Species name: Fairy Fan-flower (Scaevola aemula R.Br.)
      Overview
    Scaevola aemula represents the Goodeniaceae, which is a close relative of the Compositae. Evolutionary genomic analyses of Scaevola are useful for elucidating genetic and genomic changes associated with the origin and early diversification of the Compositae. Scaevola aemula is a small shrub native to southern Australia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaevola_aemula). Its chromosome number and genome size are unknown.
