Eremophila undulata, or wavy-leaved eremophila, is a small shrub of 20 to 50 cm native to Western Australia's Great Victoria Desert. It grows best in well-drained soil in full sun and needs only occasional watering.
Eremophila undulata, commonly known as wavy-leaved eremophila, is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a small shrub with greenish-brown flowers and leaves that have a wavy margin.
Although its flowers are greenish, the flowers of this eremophila are produced in large numbers and are attractive to nectar-feeding birds. The wavy leaves are an added attraction. It can be grown from seed, from cuttings or by grafting onto Myoporum and the shrub grows best in well-drained soil in a sunny position. It only requires occasional watering during a long dry spell and is only damaged by the most severe frosts.
This eremophila is only known from a few small areas north of Rawlinna in the Great Victoria Desert biogeographic region near where the type specimen was found. It is common in those locations, growing in brown sandy soil in association with mallee and hummock grasses.
