Taxonomy and naming

Eremophila ferricola was first formally described by Bevan Buirchell and Andrew Brown in 2016 and the description was published in Nuytsia.[3] The specific epithet (ferricola) is derived from the Latin word ferrum meaning "iron"[4]Шаблон:Rp and the Latin suffix -cola meaning "dweller" or "inhabitant"[4]Шаблон:Rp referring to the habitat of this species.[1]

Distribution and habitat

This eremophila is only known from a single population near Mullewa in the Yalgoo biogeographic region growing in ironstone soils near the top of a banded ironstone hill in dense shrubland.[1][2][5]

Conservation status

Eremophila ferricola has been classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[5] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[6]
