Eremophila scrobiculata is low, spreading shrub with sessile, linear leaves and lilac-coloured flowers and that is endemic to Western Australia. It grows on the slopes of low, stony hills on Wanna Station.

Description

Eremophila scrobiculata is a shrub that typically grows to Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Its branches are glabrous and grey. The leaves are arranged alternately, clustered near the ends of the branches, sessile, more or less glabrous, linear but thickened, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. There are five triangular to lance-shaped, green sepals that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a few scattered hairs. The petal tube is lilac-coloured, Шаблон:Cvt long and lacks spots. The four stamens are enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering mainly occurs from June to August but also at other times after rainfall.

Taxonomy and naming

This species was first formally described in 2016 by Bevan Buirchell and Andrew Phillip Brown in the journal Nuytsia from specimens on Wanna Station (north of Mount Augustus National Park) in 2005. The specific epithet (scrobiculata) is from the Latin scrobiculatus meaning "scrobiculate", or "furrowed or having the surface dotted all over with small round depressions" referring to the leaves.

Distribution and habitat

Eremophila scrobiculata is only known from the type location where it grows on the slopes of small, stony hills in the Gascoyne biogeographic region.

Conservation

Eremophila scrobiculata classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife, meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.
