Goodenia discophora is a glabrous herb with lance-shaped leaves, the narrower end towards the base or lyre-shaped pinnatifid leaves up to 200 mm (7.9 in) long and up to 50 mm (2.0 in) wide. The flowers are borne on a more or less erect flowering stem up to 800 mm (31 in) long with bracteoles joined, forming a funnel up to 50 mm (2.0 in) wide. The sepals are joined at the base to form a short tube, the lower lobes up to 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long. The petals are yellow, 10–13 mm (0.39–0.51 in) long with wings 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) wide. Flowering mainly occurs from September to February, and the capsule is oval and contains more or less spherical seeds about 4 mm (0.16 in) in diameter with a wing about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide.
