About

Calamphoreus inflatus is a shrub native to Western Australia and the only species of the flowering plant genus Calamphoreus in the family Scrophulariaceae. It was formerly known as Eremophila inflata; unlike eremophilas, this species has twisted stamens and an urn-shaped petal tube which remains attached to the fruits after flowering.

How to grow it

Commonly cultivated as Eremophila inflata, this species grows well in most soils provided it is well drained and in a sunny position. It is most easily propagated from cuttings.

Where it grows

Calamphoreus inflatus occurs from Lake King to Mount Holland and in nearby areas in the Coolgardie and Mallee biogeographic regions. It has also been recorded east of Hyden. It grows in gravelly loam on flats and disturbed sites.
