Eremophila papillata is a species of flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is an erect, compact shrub with sticky, narrow leaves and mauve, blue or purple, rarely white flowers.
This compact, small to medium-sized shrub has dark green leaves which contrast with its blue or purple flowers. It is a hardy garden plant which can be propagated from cuttings taken at most times of the year and grown in most soils, including clay. It prefers full sun but only needs one or two waterings through even the longest droughts and is generally tolerant of frosts.
Eremophila papillata occurs between Kondinin and Wongan Hills in the Avon Wheatbelt and Mallee biogeographic regions where it grows in hard clay-loam.
