Eremophila crenulata is a sticky-leaved, resinous shrub in the figwort family (Scrophulariaceae), native to the far west of Western Australia, with wavy-edged leaves and white to lilac flowers. Once established it tolerates drought, but it prefers well-drained soil and is sensitive to frost.
Eremophila crenulata is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to the far west of Western Australia. It is a large shrub, distinguished by its broad leaves which have distinctively wavy margins. The flowers are white, pink or blue and occasionally purple.
The glossy leaves contrasting with white to pale lilac-coloured flowers make this eremophila an attractive medium-sized shrub. It is difficult to propagate other than by grafting onto Myoporum species and prefers a well-drained soil, but once established it is tolerant of drought although sensitive to frost.
This eremophila occurs between Coburn Station and Gascoyne Junction in the Carnarvon and Gascoyne biogeographic regions where it grows in red sandy soils, on dunes and near shallow lakes.
