Description
Eremophila enata is a spreading shrub, usually growing to a height of less than Шаблон:Convert and has stems that are rough and hairy. The leaves are arranged alternately along the branches and are well spaced, elliptic to egg-shaped, mostly Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. Their edges are serrated and the surfaces covered with glandular hairs.[1][2]
The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils on an S-shaped stalk usually Шаблон:Convert long. There are 5 overlapping green to purplish sepals which differ in size and shape but are mostly Шаблон:Convert long. The sepal at the rear is egg-shaped and slightly shorter and wider than the others. The petals are Шаблон:Convert long and joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petals are purple to pinkish-purple on the outside and white inside the tube with purple or reddish-brown spots.

Taxonomy and naming
The species was first formally described by Robert Chinnock in 2007 and the description was published in Eremophila and Allied Genera: A Monograph of the Plant Family Myoporaceae. The type specimen was collected by Chinnock about Шаблон:Convert north of Wiluna.[3][1] The specific epithet (enata) is a Latin word meaning "arisen" or "born" referring this species' similarity to E. gilesii.[1]
Distribution and habitat
Eremophila enata occurs near Wiluna and Windidda[1] in the Gascoyne, Murchison and Pilbara biogeographic regions.[4] It grows in clay soils usually in mulga woodland.[1][2][4][5]
Conservation status
Eremophila enata is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[4]
Use in horticulture
This eremophila bears masses of flowers, often after rain following a long dry spell. Its attractive flowers suit it to most gardens. It can be propagated from cuttings and is best grown in well-drained soil in full sun. It tolerates drought and moderate frost, with any damage soon replaced by new growth.[6]
