Goodia lotifolia, commonly known as golden tip or clover tree, is a shrub species in the pea family, Fabaceae. It is endemic to south-eastern Australia. Plants grow to 4 metres and have trifoliate leaves. Yellow flowers appear in racemes in spring. The seed pods are around 25 mm long. The species was first formally described in 1806 by botanist Richard Salisbury in The Paradisus Londinensis. Two varieties are currently recognised:

  • G.lotifolia Salisb. var. lotifolia
  • G.lotifolia var. pubescens (Sims) H.B.Will.
  • The species occurs in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
