Eremophila aureivisca, known as Rason poverty bush, is a compact, drought-tolerant shrub from arid Western Australia, grown for its showy purple flowers and pink-tinged sepals. It does best in full sun and well-drained soil.
Eremophila aureivisca, also known as Rason 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 narrow, sticky, shiny leaves and pale purple flowers, known only from the edge of Lake Rason but may be more widely distributed in this remote area.
Rason poverty bush is a compact, showy shrub with masses of flowers in late winter to spring, followed by deep pink sepals which remain long after flowering. It can be grown from cuttings which may take up to three months to strike or by grafting onto Myoporum. It will grow in a wide range of soils but grows faster in well-drained soil in a sunny position. It is drought resistant but can be damaged by severe frosts.
This eremophila is only known from within 25 kilometres (20 mi) of the location of the type specimen at the south-eastern end of Lake Rason. It is found on hillsides and claypans in stony, skeletal red clay.
