Eremophila attenuata, known as Connie Sue poverty bush, is a spiny, tangled shrub from the figwort family, endemic to a small area of southeast Western Australia. It is known only from its type locality and is rarely grown, so care advice is drawn from general knowledge of arid-zone Eremophila species.
Eremophila attenuata, also known as Connie Sue poverty bush, is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to a small area in the south-east of Western Australia. It is a shrub with many branches often ending in a spine.
