List of Eremophila (plant) species

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


About 220 species of Eremophila have been formally described and about 40 more have been discovered but not formally described. The genus is endemic to Australia except that one species, (Eremophila debilis) is also found in New Zealand.[1][2]

Of the species described so far, 190 are found in Western Australia whilst about 80% of those are only found in that state. All the as yet undescribed species are endemic to Western Australia.[3]

The following is a list of the species in the genus Eremophila (figwort family, Scrophulariaceae) accepted by the Australian Plant Census as at 20 April 2019, apart from E. sericea and E. xantholaema, recently described species in the journal Nuytsia[4] but not yet assessed:[5]
