Eremophila glabra subsp. glabra
Common emubush is a drought-tolerant Australian shrub, 0.5 to 3 metres high, grown for its red or orange tubular flowers that bloom from January to November. It needs full sun and very good drainage, and suits dry gardens.
Eremophila glabra subsp. glabra, commonly known as common emu bush, is a plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to the mainland states of Australia. It is similar to other shrubs in the species Eremophila glabra but it distinguished from them by the pattern of fine hairs on the stems. It is found in the drier parts of the continent, including to the west of the Great Dividing Range in the eastern states.
Eremophila glabra subsp. glabra occurs in every mainland state of Australia, including the drier inland parts of New South Wales, southern Queensland and Victoria. It is found throughout South Australia and in the southern half of the Northern Territory and Western Australia. It grows in a wide range of soils and vegetation associations.
