''Eremophila'' is a genus of about 215 species of plants in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae all of which are endemic to mainland Australia. (One species, ''Eremophila debilis'' is thought to be a recent arrival in New Zealand). Eremophilas are widespread in the arid areas of Australia, especially Western Australia and range in size from low-growing shrubs to small trees. The petals are joined, at least at their bases, into a tube with the upper petals different in size and shape from the lower ones. Some species have common names including emu bush, poverty bush or fuchsia bush, reflecting the belief that emus eat the fruit, their arid environment or a superficial resemblance to the flowers of plants in the genus ''Fuchsia''. ==Description== Eremophilas vary in size and habit from low, prostrate shrubs to small trees in the case of ''Eremophila bignoniiflora''. Leaf size and shape is also variable but the leaves are usually small and are often shiny or hairy. The petals are joined into a tube, at least at the base. The tube has two upper lobes and three lower lobes which are usually different in size and or shape. As the flower ages, the corolla falls off then the calyx enlarges and becomes coloured as the fruit enlarges.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://anpsa.org.au/erem1a.html )〕
