About

Eremophila canaliculata is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to an area near Newman in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. It is a low, compact and highly aromatic shrub with serrated leaves and mauve to blue flowers.

How to grow it

This eremophila has not been in cultivation for a long time, and its requirements are not well known but probably requires a well-drained soil. It has been successfully propagated by grafting onto Myoporum species. Its natural environment suggests it needs summer watering, and it is known to be frost sensitive.

Where it grows

This eremophila occurs between Newman and the Kennedy Range in the Gascoyne and Pilbara biogeographic regions where it grows in sandy soils and on stony flats and rocky hillsides.
